Media Reviews
"For all its tomfoolery, in the end 'Zeke and Ned' hefts some real weight. A reader may wish the book became aware of its own strength sooner, paying more mind to truth and trying less strenuously to entertain. At its most intriguing, 'Zeke and Ned' hints that its authors know a good bit more than they're letting on."
-- Washington Post Book World
"What McMurtry and Ossana have given us here is a piece of semi-modern mythology-part folk song, part tall tale-set against the backdrop of the post-Civil War frontier. 'Zeke and Ned' belongs less to literary tradition, perhaps, than to the oral tradition of wonderful, richly textured storytelling. If the novel were shorter, it would be a great one to read out loud, passed on, embellished further over time, in direct proportion no doubt to how much whiskey the teller's been consuming. You don't ask yourself, as the wagon bounces you along, whether the whole thing makes total sense. You simply enjoy the ride."
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review
