A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY TOP 10 BOOK OF THE YEAR
The first novel by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Trust, an exquisite and blisteringly intelligent story of a young Swedish boy, separated from his brother, who becomes a legend and an outlaw
A young Swedish immigrant finds himself penniless and alone in California. The boy travels east in search of his brother, moving on foot against the great current of emigrants pushing west. Driven back again and again, he meets criminals, naturalists, religious fanatics, swindlers, American Indians, and lawmen, and his exploits turn him into a legend. Diaz defies the conventions of historical fiction and genre, offering a probing look at the stereotypes that populate our past and a portrait of radical foreignness.

Tedious, plodding story about gay men
The only possible reason this could have received a Pulitzer nomination is because it features two gay men and thus satisfies the current narrative. I say this because the writing itself is pedantic, plodding and for the most part uninteresting.
