By far his most successful book in his native Canada, \u003ci\u003eThe Englishman’s Boy \u003c\/i\u003eexpertly depicts an American West where greed and deception act side by side with honor and strength. In 1920s Hollywood, elusive movie studio owner Damon Ira Chance is obsessed with making pictures rooted in American history and experience, with the poetry of fact. So when he discovers that one of the most popular bit players in the Westerns is a real-life tin god—the last buffalo of the old West, Shorty McAdoo—he commissions an ambitious young screenwriter named Harry Vincent to hunt Shorty down and retell his story. Richly textured and evocative, this is an unforgettable story about power, greed, and the pull of dreams. At once an intensely original character study and a hugely entertaining page-turner, \u003ci\u003eThe Englishman’s Boy\u003c\/i\u003e is a gritty, resonant novel of timeless beauty and insight.","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133748920560,"sku":"9781555849214","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555849214_p0.jpg?v=1763753515","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555849214","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
