In a review for The Wall Street Journal, Sam Sacks called Maxim Loskutoff's OLD KING "An expert panorama…Coming on the heels of his outstanding 2020 novel, RUTHIE FEAR, OLD KING shows that Mr. Loskutoff is unmatched at evoking the contentious, transitional nature of the American West, which is roiled by changing environmental values and economic realities, a place of new and clashing mythologies." The Book Report Network hailed OLD KING as "a compelling, sometimes harrowing and occasionally sweet novel confronting emotional disconnect, the relationship between humanity and nature, and modern fears about technology, all the while giving readers characters who care deeply about each other and the world around them. This smart, captivating and provocative book is highly recommended." The novel was also featured on the front page of the Missoulian, highlighting Loskutoff as a celebrated local Montana author. OLD KING was published by Norton on June 4, 2024.
