Eve's Men

Brothers clash over the woman they both love in this provocative thriller by “one of the truly great American writers of the 20th century” (The Guardian).

A classic bad seed and his good-guy brother fall in love with the same woman. Wild man Brian demolishes a movie set to get revenge against the studio he feels is defaming him. As Brian rampages from Colorado to Seattle with girlfriend, Eve, in tow, his brother, Charley, follows, unnerved by Brian’s increasingly violent behavior.

The three are on a crusade ride through mayhem and madness, where one seeks justice, another seeks redemption, but they’re all seeking something in the ruins—each other. Eve’s Men is a fascinating trip with a volatile man and those who love him.

“A commanding writer of unusual delicacy and power.” —The New Yorker

“A born storyteller.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

His 1976 novel Cutter and Bone was filmed in 1981 as Cutter's Way. The New York Times called Cutter and Bone "the best novel of its kind in ten years."
