A Pipe for February: A Novel

"A Pipe for February is an extraordinary novel: evocative, riveting, moving. Charles Red Corn illuminates what the Osage people went through during the 1920s, when oil profits had made them fabulously wealthy and when they began to die under mysterious circumstances-systematically targeted for their money. This novel, exquisitely written and filled with revelations, will hold you in its grip and never let you go"-David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon-a New York Times #1 bestseller-and award-winning staff writer at The New Yorker
 

" the story is an enthralling one [and] Red Corn's loving descriptions of Osage customs and the moral dilemmas posed by their sudden wealth that make this book a particularly rewarding read." - Publishers Weekly

 

"Prose filled with descriptive beauty "-The Historical Novels Review
 

"A Pipe for February subtly weaves together some of the richest themes of contemporary American Indian Literature." -Robert Warrior, author of Tribal Secrets: Recovering American Indian Intellectual Traditions
 

"Anyone off Osage background has known that there was a lot more to tell about the Osage murders. Having heard about those murders all his life from people who lived through them and knew the people involved, Charles Red Corn is able to supply the 'Osage side' of that story." -Carter Revard, author of An Eagle Nation
 

"Charles Red Corn has captured the heart and soul of Osage County in the 1920s." -Elise Paschen, author of Infidelities
 

"Thematically rich." -Kirkus
