Her father, a legendary rodeo cowboy who punctuated his lifelong pronouncements with a bullet to his head, may be the loudest. But in this story of Montana--a story in which the old West meets the new and tradition has its way with just about everyone--it is Corey's voice we listen to. In this tour de force of voices big and small, sure and faltering, hers comes across resonant and clear, directing us to the heart of the matter.\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the 2008 Western Heritage Award, \u003ci\u003eJackalope Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e plays out against the mythology of the Old West--a powerful amalgam of ranching history, Marlboro Men, and train robbery reenactments. This story of the newly orphaned, spinsterish Corey is a sometimes comical, sometimes poignant tale of coming-of-age a little late. As she tries to recapture an old dream of becoming a painter--of preserving some modicum of true art amid the virtual reality of modern Montana--Corey finds herself figuring in other dramas as well, other, younger lives already at least as lost as her own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Clearman Blew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803237685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803237681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.29h x 5.30w x 1.11d","brand":"Mary Clearman Blew","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926183674111,"sku":"9780803237681","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fae9173c-32d7-4565-9cba-8b02299e89bb.jpg?v=1681081665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jackalope-dreams-mary-clearman-blew-9780803237681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
