“[Hagy] provides an unsentimental portrait
of modern-day cowboys. . . . She details each

acute and lyrical.”
t h e new yor k e r
“Even if you are not a horse person, Boleto will move your spirit.”
chicago tribune
“In her gift for the language of horses, as in the beauty of her prose, Hagy
will inevitably recall Annie Proulx, Kent Haruf and Cormac McCarthy.”
t h e wa s h i n g ton p o s t
“Good stories teach us how to read them, and the opening pages
of Boleto are entertaining, entrancing teachers. . . . Hagy often
dazzles with her descriptions of the Wyoming landscape and wildlife.
Whether it’s the corral of the Testerman ranch, the rugged passes of
the Black Bell Ranch or the depressed outskirts of Anaheim, the
settings glimmer with well-chosen metaphors.”
