Ernest Haycox
Auteur d'une trentaine de romans et d'environ trois cents nouvelles, Ernest Haycox (1899-1950) est un célèbre écrivain et scénariste de westerns. Parmi ses admirateurs figurent Gertrude Stein et Ernest Hemingway, à qui l'on attribue cette phrase : "J'ai lu le journal chaque fois qu'il publiait un feuilleton de Haycox."Son œuvre a inspiré huit adaptations cinématographiques, dont La Chevauchée fantastique, Les clairons sonnent la charge (adaptation du roman Des clairons dans l'après-midi, Actes Sud, 2013) et Le Passage du canyon, film de Jacques Tourneur de 1946, basé sur l'ouvrage du même nom (Actes Sud, 2015). En 2005, le prestigieux jury des Western Writers faisait de Haycox l'un des vingt-quatre meilleurs auteurs de l'Ouest du XXe siècle.
