Gene

"Brubaker and Phillips's ode to the pulp novels of the 60's, even though it's set in 1981. Ethan Reckless is a tough guy, gun for hire. Think Robert Redford in the California sunshine but with Clint Eastwood's disposition. He operates as a surlier, on"

“Does anyone ever get tired of being brave, Prosper?” I put my tiny hand in his.
He squeezed it gently and said,” Sure they do little darlin’, people get tired of being brave all the time.”
“What happens then, Prosper?” I was looking at him now, the weight of the world on my shoulders.
