Though Joe Wilkins's new collection of short fiction set under the big Montana sky may have all the trappings of a traditional Western-- long shots of sage flats and blue mountains, late nights at the dingy local watering hole, and a hard-working cowboy making time with the boss's daughter-- FAR ENOUGH is far from traditional. A series of short prose fragments told from several viewpoints, FAR ENOUGH follows Willie Benson, Wade Newman, and young Jackie Newman as they crisscross the high plains of eastern Montana, each searching for something to hold onto. Wilkins's narratives-- splintered, wending, intertwined-- sprawl out beneath a huge, dazzling sky filled with blue lightning run the wrong way, red eruptions and the slow fade to gold, a white ache along the horizon. Poetic, darkly humorous, subversive-- FAR ENOUGH is a Western for our time.
