A very provocative short story. The Bastard certainly lives up to his name.
What’s this – Patrick DeWitty-Man wrote a story about yours truly?! It’s ok guys, you can protect your sides – they won’t split as I can’t keep up this pace (DAT’S WOT SHE SEZ..>!#!) – but looks: a short story about a bastard called The Bastard. Where do writers get their ideas eh? The Bastard waltzes into small town America in the days when horses was cars and preys on a young and pretty farmer’s daughter. But what’s he really up to, see? It’s an amusing lil yarn that chuntles along nicely – De...
Short little piece that’s certainly fitting: you zip through it, and then at the end you say, “Oh, what a bastard!”

This was totally fine, but it was definitely The Sisters Brothers junior.
Very briefInteresting story, certainly didn't go where I thought it would. If you've liked his other stories this one is a good short one.
A great little companion piece to the best of DeWitt's novels. The fact that it is free and so good makes me feel like I'm the protagonist of the story. Loved it!
A great short story!
3.5 stars Yes he is!
Worth the read.Started out as excellent. Had enough of the 'stuff' I love about deWitt to enjoy the read. I agree with other review, more western please Mr. deWitt!
Solid short storyQuick and to the point. Don't expect the Bastard to be anything but that. I'll read anything deWitt puts out.
This is definitely a short story about a bastard. Loved every second of it.
Not exactly a book, but a brilliant little short story. Read it in a couple of hours. The bastard is such a bastard.
Short story, ok, a bit predictable.
Very in line with his style of writing. An excellent short story with some good dark twists. DeWitt nails it again!
Fun and shortNice little short story. Really hoping DeWitt does another western sometime down the road. Not much time for character development but yet we still understand why he's called the bastard come the end :)
