   Is the Homesman a good book?

   • The problem with The Homesman is essentially its switch in focus in the last third of the book. The majority of the book is a very interesting (if somewhat simplistic) look at the experiences of the forgotten frontier women. For much of the novel Swarthout gives voice to a group that is so often ignored.

   The Homesman was first printed in 1988, and is highly worthy of its 2014 rerelease. Swarthout’s prose and plot flow like the swirling Missouri River, deceptively smooth but with dangerous undercurrents. His characters are heart-wrenchingly believable because they are drawn from true-life pioneer experiences. Mary Bee Cuddy is simultaneously ...

   Nov 20, 2014 · The Homesman is mounted with a dignity of manner –it’s impressively staged, scored, and shot –but it’s forced to haul an incomplete story fixed to overly deliberate pacing. Taken from Glendon Swarthout’s 1988 novel of the same name, The Homesman lays out a narrative tract faithful to the source material, yet it never sows the seeds ...

   Oct 23, 2015 · A fine Western novel. . . The Homesman is a splendid Western novel. Glendon Swarthout wrote four Western tales (that I know of), all made into movies, and with great Western stars too. The first was a post-Custer story, 7th Cavalry, which Columbia made into a fun Randolph Scott oater in 1956. In 1959 Swarthout’s novel of the previous year ...
