PositiveElectric LiteratureThe novel does not follow a traditional narrative arc. Eli and Charlie travel from hitching post to hitching post on their way to meet their prey, so it’s essentially a road novel. The first half of the book is, to a large degree, a series of vignettes...When the brothers zero in on their mark, the book settles into a more conventional plot structure, which is not to say it becomes conventional … The Sisters Brothers is a valiant effort to break the rules and make it work anyway, and DeWitt gets away with it surprisingly frequently. It’s a brave experiment and it takes some getting used to, but the world is fascinating, the character are rich and clichés be there none.
