Set in Wyoming and India, the stories in Cowboys and East Indians explore the immigrant experience and collisions of cultures in the American West as seen through the eyes of outsiders. From Indian motel owners to a kleptomaniac foreign exchange student, a cross-dressing sari-wearing cowboy to oil-rig workers, an adopted cowgirl to a medical tourist in India – the characters in these stories are lonely and are looking for connection, and yet they can also be problematic and aggressive in order to survive in an isolated landscape. These stories focus on the not-often-mentioned rural immigrant experience. For these characters, identity is shaped not just by personal history but by place, the very land they live on. • About the Author: Nina McConigley is the author of the story collection Cowboys and East Indians, which won the 2014 PEN Open Book Award and a High Plains Book Award.

Three Cheers for Nina McConigley By Bonnie Darling I dont always gravitate towards short stories, but after reading this book, I have changed my mind. The writing of each and every story is incredible. We chose this for our book club selection and every single member raved about it. That never happens! We each had a different favorite story, favorite character,favorite theme. Each story could be a novel of its own. We hope to read a lot more from this talented author, who explores what it means to belong or not to belong. The quest to find the place where you feel you belong and then finding it isnt where you thought!

By Lindsay O'Donovan I really loved reading this book- and to be very honest short stories I often find difficult to get into- however Nina has a way of pulling you into her characters immediately. I also particularly loved the way ( as a lifelong East Coast resident) she captures the feeling of Wyoming, and makes me feel like it is very present. A wonderful book!!!!!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Like several of the other commenters By Wyoming Buffalo Gal Like several of the other commenters, I am not one who gravitates to short stories, but this collection read almost like a memoir of place. I particularly connected with the stories set in Wyoming, since it is my home and I appreciated the obvious attachment to our landscape and wildlife, but the stories set elsewhere were so full of description, it was like reading a travel blog. In addition, Nina's characters add another perspective and layer of diversity to both the Equality State and broader human experience. This award winning book is well worth reading, regardless of genre preference or personal perspective. The writing will lead you into a place that is at once familiar and new.
