The Bastard (Electric Literature's Recommended Reading)

"The Bastard is a con man, motivated by money and bragging rights, becoming whoever he needs to be as a means to those ends. Confidence, intuition, and research are a con manâ€™s specialties, and indeed when the Bastard shows up to Farmer Wilsonâ€™s door he is armed with all those things, plus information, whiskey, and charm. These are materials of a masterful storyteller, and though youâ€™ll have to bring your own whiskey, DeWitt is equally armed. With his assured, ventriloquist prose, DeWitt is a kind of law-abiding con man, able to convince us, on a basic gut level, of outlandish scenarios and outsized personalities." - Halimah Marcus, Editor-in-Chief, Electric Literature's Recommended Reading
