Recenzii
"Green
Sunsucceeds
on
so
many
levels,
it's
hard
to
keep
count.

Hanson
is
a
fascinating
and
memorable
character,
but
the
real
star
ofGreen
Sunis
Anderson's
writing.
.

He's
a
compassionate
writer
who
never
wastes
a
single
word.

Anderson
is
adept
at
finding
a
terrible
kind
of
beauty
in
the
worst
circumstances,
which
makesGreen
Sundifficult
to
put
down
even
when
it's
emotionally
painful
to
keep
reading.
Above
all,
it's
a
stunning
meditation
on
power,
violence
and
the
intractability
of
pain,
which
Anderson
seems
to
understand
all
too
well."—Michael
Schaub,NPR
"Quietly staggering . . . Kent Anderson is one of the unsung legends of crime fiction."—Lloyd Sachs,Chicago Tribune
"Anderson's writing is reminiscent of that of James Lee Burke, blending pathos, violence, and corruption with long-shot hope and glimpses of natural wonder. . . . Anderson's lean but limber style makes this novel a suitable companion for just about anyone."—Erik Spanberg,Christian Science Monitor
"Kent Anderson serves up the best of what crime fiction can do inGreen Sun, showing us a slice of the world that stands for the whole wide world, and giving us Officer Hanson, whose perseverance and bedrock fairness and understanding of human frailty make him a hero for all places and times. The Hanson Trilogy should not be a secret. It's the best of the best in American storytelling today."—Michael Connelly
"Green Suntells the unvarnished truth about what it is to be a cop in modern day America. I can give a suspense novel no higher compliment."
—James Patterson
"Deeply moving.... Anderson's model of community policing couldn't be more timely."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Anderson doesn't publish much, but when he does, it's something to remember. . . . It is perhaps the perfect time for an honest, realistic, unflinching portrayal of a good cop, and Anderson delivers just that."—Booklist (starred review)
"Kent Anderson has crafted a literary miracle here. We're transported to 'Nam and circa-'80 Oakland, reimagined as Hell, seen through the eyes of a crusading cop unique in the annals of police literature. This jazzy--and jazz influenced--novel is like the best of early Joseph Wambaugh. In Oaklandese: If I'm lyin', I'm flyin'!"—James Ellroy
"Kent Anderson immediately pulls you into his taut, authentic depiction of a cop's life in early-80s Oakland.Green Sunis crime fiction at its best: smart, unflinching, and, ultimately, compassionate."—Alafair Burke
"[Anderson] imbues his protagonist with a solid dose of humanity. If I were a cop, Hanson would be on my short list for role models."—BookPage
"Kent Anderson is thereal deal,with a past to prove it. AndGreen Sunshows it, with writing that pours across the page like a dark storm, but also shines, and stays with you long after you put it down."—David Swinson

"Kent
Anderson
is
the
finest
portrayer
of
the
cop
novel,
elevating
the
genre
to
the
highest
literary
form.
With
his
third
novel,Green
Sun,
he
completes
a
trilogy
that
would
sit
effortlessly
alongside
the
masters,
Cormac
McCarthy
and
James
Lee
Burke.
This
is
Ellroy
for
a
whole
new
generation.
I
am
green
with
admirable
envy."
