Walk Me to the Distance

David Larson, a Vietnam veteran, finds himself stranded in a remote Wyoming town after traveling west from Georgia, where he encounters a diverse cast of characters and a landscape steeped in the American badlands. Blending elements of Southern Gothic and Western frontier justice, the story explores themes of trauma, identity, and the harsh realities of cruelty and resilience. Through vivid storytelling, Percival Everett paints a haunting portrait of a rugged, unforgiving world.
