For some reason I keep thinking of the Cohen brothers as I read, it must be due to the random quirky characters that keep appearing. Recommended

The Cohen brothers vibe is very apt; I felt the same way while reading it. Others have suggested that it was the type of western that might have resulted if Cormac McCarthy had a sense of humor. Either way The Sisters Brothers was a fun, thoughtful and quirky read.
