What is The Sisters brothers : a novel about?

Patrick de Witt’s dazzlingly original novel is a darkly funny, offbeat Western about a reluctant assassin and his murderous brother.Oregon, 1851. Eli and Charlie Sisters are on their way to California to kill a man named Hermann Kermit Warm. On the way, Charlie makes a lot of money and shoots anyone who stands in his way; Eli doubts his vocation and falls in love. And they bicker constantly. When the brothers get to California, they discover that Warm is an inventor who has come up with a magical formula, which could make all of them very rich. What happens next is strange, sad and utterly gripping."The Sisters Brothers frontier is more poetic than realistic but as easy to slip into as the old HBO series Deadwood. But where an onscreen western shows the setting, this book has few descriptions of landscape or buildings they visit. What gets described, instead, are bodily woes. Charlie's bad drunks and worse hangovers include lots of vomiting, Eli has injuries that bleed and swell, and the decline of Tub, Eli's horse, after getting swatted by a grizzly is, in the end, grisly." - Carolyn Kellogg, The Los Angeles TimesPatrick deWitt’s writing career began when he published a short bo
