Specificatii
Oakley Hall's legendary Warlock revisits and reworks the
traditional conventions of the Western to present a raw, funny,
hypnotic, ultimately devastating picture of American unreality.
First published in the 1950s, at the height of the McCarthy era,
Warlock is not only one of the most original and entertaining of
modern American novels but a lasting contribution to American
fiction. Tombstone, Arizona, during the 1880's is, in ways, our
national Camelot: a never-never land where American virtues are
embodied in the Earps, and the opposite evils in the Clanton gang;
where the confrontation at the OK Corral takes on some of the dry
purity of the Arthurian joust. Oakley Hall, in his very fine novel
Warlock has restored to the myth of Tombstone its full, mortal,
blooded humanity. Wyatt Earp is transmogrified into a gunfighter
named Blaisdell who . . . is summoned to the embattled town of
Warlock by a committee of nervous citizens expressly to be a hero,
but finds that he cannot, at last, live up to his image; that there
is a flaw not only in him, but also, we feel, in the entire set of
assumptions that have allowed the image to exist. . . . Before the
agonized epic of Warlock is over with the rebellion of the
proto-Wobblies working in the mines, the struggling for political
control of the area, the gunfighting, mob violence, the personal
crises of those in power the collective awareness that is Warlock
must face its own inescapable Horror: that what is called society,
with its law and order, is as frail, as precarious, as flesh and
can be snuffed out and assimilated back into the desert as easily
as a corpse can. It is the deep sensitivity to abysses that makes
Warlock one of our best American novels. For we are a nation that
can, many of us, toss with all aplomb our candy wrapper into the
Grand Canyon itself, snap a color shot and drive away; and we need
voices like Oakley Hall's to remind us how far that piece of paper,
still fluttering brightly behind us, has to fall. Thomas Pynchon
