“Bill Fellenberg’s coming-of-age memoir offers the equivalent of a warm hug. Pulled between two cultures, two countries, and two parents, he navigates his childhood with wry self-deprecation and gentle insight. Sayonara Cowboy is, at its heart, about the wars we fight—across oceans, in our own homes, within ourselves—and the love that is the only path to peace.”

—BIZZY COY, writer, The New Yorker, Vulture
