God's Country
God's Country is the sixth novel by author Percival Everett, published by Faber & Faber in 1994, and republished in 2003 by Beacon Press. The novel, a satirical parody of the American Western genre, is set in the Western Territories in 1871 and tells the story of Curt Marder, an ignorant, racist, down-on-his-luck white rancher who seeks revenge upon a group of marauders who kill his dog, burn his property, and kidnap his wife. Marder enlists the services of a black cowboy named Bubba, considered to be the best tracker in the West, to enact revenge and find his missing wife.
