The novel takes place in an alternate timeline where the United States experienced a devastating flu pandemic in the 1830s.[1] Among other implications, this pandemic resulted in strict fertility laws. North read books such as Nell Painter's Exodusters to better understand the real-world history of the West before writing the novel.[1]
The novel received mostly positive reviews.[2][3] Maureen Corrigan, writing for NPR, praised the book as a "[...] smart adventure tale".[2] Kirkus Reviews gave credit to the novel for "[...earning] its place in the growing canon of fiction that subverts the Western genre [...]".[4]
On January 26, 2021, it was announced that Outlawed would be adapted for television by A24 and Amy Adams' Bond Group Entertainment.[5]
