About this product

Product Information

Here is E. L. Doctorow's debut novel, a searing allegory of frontier life that sets the stage for his subsequent classics. Hard Times is the name of a town in the barren hills of the Dakota Territory. To this town there comes one day one of the reckless sociopaths who wander the West to kill and rape and pillage. By the time he is through and has ridden off, Hard Times is a smoking ruin. The de facto mayor, Blue, takes in two survivors of the carnage-a boy, Jimmy, and a prostitute, Molly, who has suffered unspeakably-and makes them his provisional family. Blue begins to rebuild Hard Times, welcoming new settlers, while Molly waits with vengeance in her heart for the return of the outlaw. Praise for Welcome to Hard Times "A forceful, credible story of cowardice and evil." --The Washington Post "We are caught up with these people as real human beings." --Chicago Sun-Times "Dramatic and exciting." -- The New York Times "Terse and powerful." -- Newsweek "A taut, bloodthirsty read." --The Times Literary Supplement "A superb piece of fiction." -- The New Republic

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Great read!

    This book is not a typical "western." Maybe it tells us something about human nature and civilization. I'm not sure, but I really enjoyed reading it!

  • When does the story start?

    Boring. There’s a difference, in my opinion, between a story and a novel. A story format is - this happened, then this happened, then this happened. A novel format is - introduce then develop characters, have a main plot and a few subplots, develop everything along the way, then tie them all together. I waited for something - anything - to develop in this book. Nope, nada, nothing.
