Synopsis

Come West and See is a work both timely and timeless. Set in the Redoubt, an isolated triangle of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming where an armed occupation of a wildlife refuge escalates into a separatist uprising, these stories explore the loneliness, insecurity, and frustration inherent to love and heartbreak. A lakeside wedding drunkenly devolves into a cruel charade; an unemployed carpenter joins a militia after his wife leaves him; and a former soldier raises the daughter of a dead comrade in a bunker beneath an abandoned farm. Come West and See explores divisions both personal and political, offering startling insights into the wounds of the American people and a powerful new vision of the West.

Come West and See is an interesting collection of stories with a loose theme of The American Redoubt imagined before, during, and after a significant uprising and armed conflict.

This debut collection of short stories by Maxim Loskutoff portrays snapshot-style glances of various folks, their loved ones, and their living situations in an American atmosphere where a new civil war is taking place.
