This highly acclaimed novel appears on multiple “best of” lists for the year. Thad and Hazen, brothers in their twenties, live off the grid in a house built by their grandfather and left to them by their father. They’re buried in debt and about to lose the house. Living just outside Yellowstone, they take a run at poaching elk antler, but it all goes awry when Thad breaks his arm. Hazen takes him to a hospital, where he is patched up and released. A year later, Thad’s arm hasn’t properly healed, and he’s addicted to Oxy. Hazen kills a man threatening them and disappears into the vast wilderness of Montana. Thad puts his head down and soldiers on his own.
The story is intriguing, and the detailed discussion of living in the wild is interesting. Not sure about all the praise.
