Great little book, Stupid name

I love Catherynne Valente’s prose. She is just plain brilliant. But I can’t for the life of me figure out why they decided to call this book “Six-Gun Snow White” when hundreds of other, non-cheesier titles were available. Written in cornpone dialogue in 3rd person, this book reads like someone transcribed a story by Gabby Hayes. All the things you might be looking for in a western reboot of the Snow White Myth are slightly here. Very well done and entertaining. Ending is kind of a nosedive, however, dropping the whole idea of Snow White for a revisionist “then this happened” post-revival life. Whatever – glad I read it. Do read more of Valente’s work. She is awesome.
