No Country for Old Men by Warren Eyster review
A Pennsylvania tale spanning 1889 to 1941, the novel centers on the Lang and Mijack families and labor strife in a Nesquehanna borough. Despite a strong theme and earnest writing, the 600 page work stalls for 300 pages on description and reflection before finally picking up, yet remains considered an unworthy lengthy read.
