The Bayou Trilogy: Under the Bright Lights, Muscle for the Wing, and The Ones You Do
Autor Daniel Woodrellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 apr 2011
In the parish of St. Bruno, sex is easy, corruption festers, and double-dealing is a way of life. Rene Shade is an uncompromising detective swimming in a sea of filth.
As Shade takes on hit men, porn kings, a gang of ex-cons, and the ghosts of his own checkered past, Woodrell's three seminal novels pit long-entrenched criminals against the hard line of the law, brother against brother, and two vastly different sons against a long-absent father.
THE BAYOU TRILOGY highlights the origins of a one-of-a-kind author, a writer who for over two decades has created an indelible representation of the shadows of the rural American experience and has steadily built a devoted following among crime fiction aficionados and esteemed literary critics alike.

"Woodrell

drolly
and
pungently
of
rednecks
and
swamp
rats
with
the
affection
and
exasperation
of
a
man
who
has
spent
his
life
among
them
...The
Bayou
Trilogystands
with
the
best

of
its
period."—St.

Post-Dispatch
"Old fans and new readers alike out to be grateful....The novels showcase Woodrell's evolution as a writer....Woodrell'sThe Bayou Trilogysupplies all the pleasure of hard-boiled noir: laconic cynicism, casually colorful characters (a diner owner, for instance, is described as having 'slightly more than a basic issue of a nose') and a hero whose feet of clay make his dedication to law and order all the more admirable."—Chicago Tribune
"There's poetry in Woodrell's mayhem, each novel-and scene-full of gritty and memorable Cajun details."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Really cool . . . Jump on these three top-shelf books."—Library Journal
"The Bayou Trilogyis more than a landmark of crime fiction; it is an impressive and important addition to American letters. Bravo, Daniel Woodrell, and long live Rene Shade."—PulpSerenade.com
"What people say about Cormac McCarthy . . . goes double for [Woodrell]. Possibly more."—New York Magazine
A backcountry Shakespeare . . . The inhabitants of Daniel Woodrell's fiction often have a streak that's not just mean but savage; yet physical violence does not dominate his books. What does dominate is a seasoned fatalism . . . Woodrell has tapped into a novelist's honesty, and lucky for us, he's remorseless that way."—Los Angeles Times
"Daniel Woodrell writes in sentences that could be ancient carvings on a tree."—Chicago Tribune
"Woodrell is the least-known major writer in the country right now."—Dennis Lehane,USA Today
"Daniel Woodrell has quietly built a career that whould be the envy of most American novelists today."—Washington Times
"Poetic prose and raw dialogue . . . dark-hued suspense."—Washington Post Book World, onUnder the Bright Lights
"A gritty, atmospheric slice of crime fiction . . . a superior piece of narrative noir."—Kirkus, onUnder the Bright Lights
"Vitality pulses from this perfectly paced book . . . a flawless novel."—San Francisco Examiner, onUnder the Bright Lights
"Sly and powerful."—John D. MacDonald, onUnder the Bright Lights
"As steamy as the bayou country that is its setting."—The Washington Post Book World,onUnder the Bright Lights
"Daniel Woodrell is stone brilliant--a Bayou Dutch Leonard, steeped in rich Louisiana language.Muscle for the Wingis vicious, colloquial, dark and--most surprisingly--brutally funny. To read it is to enter a superbly realized universe of surprises."—James Ellroy, author ofLA ConfidentialandBlood's A Rover
"Off-the-wall characters, quirky and bizarre, yet as authentic as any I've ever met in a novel. Woodrell succeeds--in fact triumphs . . . and spins a hell of a yarn to boot."—The Washington Post Book World, onMuscle for the Wing
"The colorful characters and piquant tongues in which they speak . . . really have us swooning . . . All offer hot-breathed testimony to the human gumbo that is St. Bruno."—The New York Times, onMuscle for the Wing
"Woodrell does for the Ozarks what Raymond Chandler did for Los Angeles or Elmore Leonard did for Florida."—LA Times, onMuscle for the Wing
"Characters as screwy and dangerous as any in Elmore Leonard, as a sense of pace and language that never warns you whether a scene or sentence will end in a burst of poetry or a hail of bullets."—Kirkus, onThe Ones You Do
"Deeply atmospheric and oozing with the mojo of the swamp . . . Woodrell's work echoes that of William Kennedy, William Faulkner, and Walter Mosley . . . Fine writing."—The Chicago Tribune, onThe Ones You Do
"The pages snap, crackle, and pop. Woodrell's writing reminds me of the late, great John D. MacDonald, the kind of keen eye for the local detail, but he walks his own walk and talks his own talk."—Barry Gifford, onThe Ones You Do
