“Narrator Alexander Skarsgard provides the ideal voice for this audiobook…Skarsgard’s gentle tone suggests an innocence glowing halo-like over Hakan…Skarsgard makes the most of the limited dialogue by going all-in on nuances when characters do speak. His performance shines in quiet moments when the audiobook inspires empathy even as it roils with violence and despair. Not for the faint of heart, this story will awaken an appreciation for the better aspects of human nature. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

The first novel by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Trust, an exquisite and blisteringly intelligent story of a young Swedish boy, separated from his brother, who becomes a legend and an outlaw
A young Swedish immigrant finds himself penniless and alone in California. The boy travels east in search of his brother, moving on foot against the great current of emigrants pushing west. Driven back again and again, he meets criminals, naturalists, religious fanatics, swindlers, American Indians, and lawmen, and his exploits turn him into a legend. Diaz defies the conventions of historical fiction and genre, offering a probing look at the stereotypes that populate our past and a portrait of radical foreignness.
