A novel from the dark heart of early twentieth-century Alberta,
featuring a new introduction by Dr. Lily Cho.
A bully cattle rancher upends the lives of everyone he encounters and a
pandemic makes those lives even more precarious. A full century after
its first publication, Cattle remains a story of brutality. A curious
Canadian mixture of Hardy and Steinbeck, Cattle is built on the deep
contradictions of a settler ideology, asking readers to not look away
from the many modes of violence bound up in Canadian history.
