"The Rifles establishes more firmly than ever before that William Vollmann is, in the. The Rifles is a novel by American writer William T. Vollmann. It is intended to be the sixth book in a planned seven-book cycle entitled Seven Dreams: A Book of North American Landscapes. As of five of the seven have been published, The Rifles being the third to reach print. Having now read all four currently published Dreams in this series, The Rifles, which is the shortest of the four at pages (+ 70 of source notes, glossaries, etc.) seems the most strange and dream-like. It is a cutting edge blend of modern travelogue, historical research, and imagination.
