Query: Outlaw lore's darkest angel

For more than 120 years, Jesse James has hidden out in the badlands of the American heart, a moral paradox, half myth and no more than half human. In outlaw hagiography, he is surely the darkest angel. Now, "The Chivalry of Crime," an impressive first novel by Desmond Barry about the unholy terror of Jesse James, allows readers to touch the very root of violence in human nature and explore the American fascination with outlawsBarry, a Welsh immigrant fascinated by the fantastic tales of the American West, bit off a huge hunk of frontier mythology and chewed it fairly thoroughly. As a new work of "re-imagined" history, "The Chivalry of Crime" is perhaps not as literarily weighty as Stephen Harrigan's "Gates of the Alamo," nor as quirky as Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian," although Barry is a writer of equally enormous talent. The book's flaws are rather minor and technical, and it remains an entertaining historical yarn.
