Dennis Lehane
Descriere
Though best known for his hugely successful novels, Dennis Lehane is also a master of the short story. This collection, his first to be published in the UK, includes the story 'Running out of Dog' which was featured in THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2005 and THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES OF THE CENTURY.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
Along with completely original material, this new collection is a compilation of the best of Dennis Lehane's previously published short fiction, including "Until Gwen," which was adapted for the stage in 2005 and appears in this book as the play Coronado. By turns suspenseful, surreal, romantic, and tragically comic, these powerful tales journey headlong into the heart of our national myths—and reveal that the truth awaiting us there is not what we would expect.
Recenzii
“Coronado is an apt reminder that the master of crime and literary fiction is also a proficient short-story writer…whose stories make us dig down into our own hopes and fears.” — USA Today
“[A] brilliant, insightful and intriguing literary voyage. Lehane’s ability to create complex and believable characters using simple prose is his best asset, one that he uses to full advantage...Lehane’s genius is in the intricacy of the relationship. He draws these characters so realistically that their eventual downfall is especially poignant...an exciting, frenetic read that draws you into the lives of characters, lifestyles and locales that are not only colorful but engaging. Locations are vivid and crisp, characters are memorable and, most importantly, the story lines dig into you and leave their mark.” — Boston Herald
“Raw, surprising tales of passion and violence . . . [from] one of the most unpredictable minds in current American fiction.” — Washington Post Book World
“Dennis Lehane creates flawed, hopeful, memorable characters with the kind of lyrical writing that is to literature what John Prine and Tom Waits are to music.” — San Jose Mercury News
“Coronado is a collection of short stories, exquisite fragments with jagged edges and raw emotions...an excellent, eliptical examination of the power of love and a man apparently without a soul.” — The Guardian
“A knockout performance…This one is a classic.” — Kirkus Reviews
“There’s not a wasted word in these dark, spare tales about disenfranchised males of the South” — Library Journal
“the stuff of a reliable pro” — Daily News
“Lehane has a startling capacity for assessing broken people ” — Entertainment Weekly
“Five richly vernacular stories and one play…Powerfully envisioned lives, recounted unflinchingly.” — Publishers Weekly
