Product Description

Review
"* 'An incredible writer' Los Angeles Times * 'Frazier is a writer of grace and charm' Washington Post * 'A writer of uncommon grace and subtlety' Chicago Tribune * 'Whether on a paved shore in Harlem or in the middle of Montana, Frazier writes with unpretentious lyricism and comedy' Minneapolis Star-Tribune * 'Frazier is a great storyteller [who] writes history with passion and delight' Newsweek"

Product Description
Reportage resists easy definition and comes in many forms - travel essay, narrative history, autobiography - but at its finest it reveals hidden truths about people and events that have shaped the world we know. This new series, hailed as 'a wonderful idea' by Don DeLillo, both restores to print and introduces for the first time some of the greatest works of the genre. "Great Plains" is a journey through the vast and myth-inspiring empty plains - from tumbleweed and American Indian tepees to the house where Bonnie and Clyde did their dirty work to the scene of the murders in Capote's "In Cold Blood".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great writing, 16 Oct 2008
By Mr Gladstone (East Sussex) - See all my reviews
The perfect antidote to shallow, flaccid newspaper and TV travel reporting, the author spent years driving the grassy emptiness of America's mid-west and creates a wonderfully readable tale of what happened to the Great Plains after the indians were kicked out. It's really funny, and brings a fresh eye to familiar stories. For example, Custer was just up for a laugh and Crazy Horse was the greatest ever American. There are horrific accounts of Kansas's last lynching, Bonnie and Clyde without the Hollywood glam, the sickening story of the killing of millions of buffalo, but plenty of heart-warming stuff too.

For any budding writer, this is a must read.
