• “Starts rhapsodically & rewards the reader with so many moments of love & laughter—Wounded is full of shocks & surprises.”—Los Angeles Times

Training horses is dangerous—a head-to-head confrontation with 1,000 pounds of muscle & little sense takes courage, but more important, patience & smarts. It is these same qualities that allow John & his uncle Gus to live in the beautiful high desert of Wyoming. A black horse trainer is a curiosity, at the very least, but a familiar curiosity in these parts. It is the brutal murder of a young gay man, however, that pushes this small community to the teetering edge of intolerance.

Highly praised for his storytelling & ability to address the toughest issues of our time with humor, grace, & originality, Wounded by Percival Everett offers a brilliant novel that explores the alarming consequences of hatred in a divided America.
