Product Description

Synopsis

Imagine a world where the American government signed a conservation act to "restore all indigenous flora and fauna to the Great Plains," which means suddenly the Great Plains are Indian again. Now fast-forward fourteen years to a bowling alley deep in the Indian Territories. People that bowling alley with characters named LP Deal, Cat Stand, Mary Boy, Courtney Peltdowne, Back Iron, Denim Horse, Naitche, and give them a chance to find a treaty signed under duress by General Sherman, which effectively gives all of the Americas back to the Indians, only hide that treaty in a stolen pipe, put it in a locker, and flush the key down the toilet. Ask LP Deal and the rest what they will trade to get that key back - maybe, everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing 23 Sep 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
THE BIRD IS GONE is one of the best, and most orginial books i've ever had the pleasure of reading. his prose, once again, carry their own rhythm and read like poetry. read it, get lost in it, and then read it again, because its magic. mr. jones is without question one of our most talented writers writing today. do yourself a favor and read this book, then read his other two books, because he's just that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars once again, YES 9 Mar 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
so, not only is this book one of the most original and deftly structured to come along in recent years, but, as has been pointed out: the sentences!! Jones' sentences will take root in your head and grow, bloom, wither, rot, be reincarnated as a time travelling coyote. seriously, get on this one.
