Tribal Chairman Harleigh Kildeer welcomes Big Oil with open arms, while county sheriff Will Crowder has to deal with the overnight influx of roughnecks, truckers, drug dealers, and sex workers.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Sayles has created a tale of people and place bewitched and bedeviled by money and power, ultimately convinced to join in the destruction of their lands and their lives. Not only is his story believable, it could easily be a work of nonfiction.” —Counter Punch
“Sayles expresses his compassion and concern for those who struggle with poverty and prejudice, seeking both to provoke and entertain.” —Booklist (starred review)
“John Sayles is a living master. Yellow Earth reminds me what novels are for.” —Jennifer Haigh, author of Heat and Light
