About this item

Following the success of his US debut, Bear Despair (a 2012 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book), Dorémus' Coyote Run is a humorous homage to the American West that elevates recognition of the other above the blindness of violence. Inspired by Spaghetti Westerns, this Gallic one is a chase that is about matching wits and getting distracted long enough to see things in a newer and truer light. Focusing in on conflict and the easy resort to arms, Coyote Run is a timely tale that is sure to generate much discussion and debate. It is also a chase, and a satisfying one at that, with the book's heros ultimately evading and escaping their pursuers.
