Reviews
" This Way Slaughter is not the literal story of the rise from the ashes of the Lone Star of the Republic of Texas. It is the literary tale of the birth of the Texas mythology with the gods Sam Houston, Stephen Austin, James Bowie, Juan Seguin, David Crockett, James Bonham, Sam Maverick above the fires of the Alamo and within the pearly gates of San Jacinto as seen through the eyes of one of those gods, William Barret Travis, commander and poet of the Alamo." --Robert Flynn, author, North to Yesterday and Wanderer Springs ; past president, Texas Institute of Letters, 'Remember the Alamo!' was a rallying cry, and you will remember the Alamo after Bruce Olds's astonishing This Way Slaughter , but you'll remember it differently than ever before. With a formal opportunism to rival Jean Toomer's in Cane and a historical resonance the equal of W.G. Sebald's in Austerlitz , Olds sets his William Barret Travis to telling more than he meant to tell. The result is 'the proper purring of the page,' a gripping story that sheds light on a past moment, and sheds even more on the present. --H.L. Hix, author, First Fire, Then Birds and American Anger|9781609405694|, "Olds ( The Moments Lost , 2007) does not only bend genre in his newest novel but he goes beyond the bounds of genre itself. This Way Slaughter is neither biography nor war novel but a piece of one man's complicated life read through the lens of a fever dream. William Barret Travis was the commander of the Alamo Mission when the Mexican army laid siege in 1836, despite having almost no experience as a military man. Travis was a lawyer who came to Texas after leaving his home state of Alabama, fleeing debtors and a possible murder charge. Despite his lack of expertise, Travis led his troop of soldiers during the entire 13-day siege, and he died in the final Battle of the Alamo. The story is told in turns through Travis' stream-of-consciousness thoughts, diary entries, third-person narration, poems, and even Travis' fictionalized curriculum vitae. Fans of Stephen King's The Dark Tower (2004) will enjoy Travis' inner monologues and dark humor. History buffs will love Olds' attention to detail and extensive research. Readers will find themselves engrossed in this unusual tale from the first pages." --Seth Emery, Booklist, "In his iconoclastic satire, This Way Slaughter , Bruce Olds strips away myth to offer an impressionistic account of Travis's stumbling path to the Alamo. How did a former teacher and lawyer-gone-bust become a colonel? How does an ordinary man define duende--Spirit? Passion? --in himself, and inspire a small garrison to fight to the death against an army ten times its size? ... If you like your Alamo worship with a twist of LSD, do give it a try." --Jo Ann Butler, Historical Novel Review, "An Olds novel not only reproduces a moment in history, it recreates the process by which that moment became history. The result is a revaluation of the code of sanctified violence that is at the heart of the Western and of American myth. A fascinating exploration of the psychology and patterns of belief of a particular kind of American hero . . . . Moving, funny and smart." --Richard Slotkin, author, Regeneration Through Violence: The Mythology of the American Frontier, 1600-1860, "Bruce Olds's novel This Way Slaughter is a de-Disney-fied anti-epic, a dazzling Menippean satire upon the myth of the Alamo as told by the garrison's fatally amateurish commander-by-default William Barrett Travis, a tactical genius of catastrophe whose main idea was to trap his men inside a glorified cattle pen and send for help. Iconoclastic, irreverent, subversive, and slyly anachronistic, This Way Slaughter detonates with wit and poetry under received wisdom and the glittering past." --Douglas Glover, author, The Life and Times of Captain N and Elle, " This Way Slaughter , an original work of literary, biographical fiction about "the Voice of the Texas Revolution" and Commander of the Alamo, William Barret Travis, marks the first and only time that figure has received full-length treatment in a novel. Typically a character portrayed as a rather minor stick figure forfeit to a much larger, unthinkably violent and bloody drama, one overshadowed by more celebrated names like Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and Sam Houston, Slaughter places the 26-year-old attorney, schoolteacher, editor and diarist centerstage where he is subjected to relentlessly probing, yet empathic scrutiny." -- fantasticfiction.com, "What emerges in the course of the novel is an indelible, highly provocative portrait of a conflicted, fatalistic, yet duty-bound young man haunted by an unsavory past, pledged to an impossible present, and pursued by an inescapable future... On another level, the novel is both a meditation on historical time, and the manner in which the interplay between fact and fiction determines the kinds of stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, about our past, and about how we choose to bequeath those stories to the future." --https://www.fantasticfiction.com/o/bruce-olds/this-way-slaughter.htm
