An Incomplete History of the American West

Gabriel Urza is a writer, attorney, and university professor from Reno, Nevada. He teaches fiction in the MFA program at Portland State University. He is the author of the novels The Silver State and All That Followed, as well as and The White Death: An Illusion and The Las Supper. He lives in Hood River, Oregon.

"Gabriel Urza is a master at his craft. He writes powerfully in the emerging genre of Postfrontier fiction, that is, writing that reimagines the American West. I love the structure of this book; it's formally innovative and audacious in its storytelling. The writing is deceptively simple-straightforward and unsentimental. As a writer myself, I'm in awe of Urza's scope of place. It has an avid curiosity about place, and our place in it." - Nina McConigley, author of How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder: A Novel
