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 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."
Ken Bruen
"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
