Western Fiction
Western fiction often tells stories of survival,
revenge, and lawlessness. The hero
is a likeable loner who rights
wrongs, then moves on to another spot. The hero
would rather use
strategy to solve problems, but often is forced to use violence in the end.
These short novels may be slow or fast paced and often include detailed
descriptions of landscapes and times.
