In his latest novel to examine the collisions between Native Americans and European colonizers, National Book Award–winner William T. Vollmann tells the story of the Nez Perce War. Defrauded and intimidated at every turn, the Nez Perces finally went on the warpath in 1877, subjecting the U.S. Army to its greatest defeat since Little Big Horn as they fled from Oregon across Montana to the Canadian border. Teeming with vivid characters on both sides of the conflict, The Dying Grass (Viking) is another mesmerizing achievement from one of the most ambitious writers of our time.

Last Stories and Other Stories (Viking) features supernaturally tinged pieces from William T. Vollmann, author of the National Book Award–winner Europe Central. In this magnificent new work of fiction, his first in nine years, Vollmann offers a collection of ghost stories linked by themes of love, death, and the erotic. Vollmann has always operated in the shadowy borderland between categories, and these eerie tales all focus on the attempts of the living to avoid, control, or even seduce death.
