Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. This is close to a prototypical noir story i have in my head. An alcoholic detective in a dark blurry unfriendly world struggling with meaning, struggling with a case, struggling for a piece of love and comfort. A very cozy atmosphere of meaningless meanderings and beautiful visuals. ( ) “There are eight million stories in the naked city.” “You got eight million ways to die.” A decent, hard-boiled detective story! Matthew Scudder is hired to get a prostitute out of the business, which he does. But then - she's murdered. Now, Scudder wants to know who dunnit, and why? Can he find the killer, and maintain his sobriety? Well, you gotta read it! I liked the story, the format, and the artwork. Not a big fan of the ending. But three outta four ain't bad. And neither is this read! näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Mukaelma tästä teoksesta:Eight Million Ways to Die (tekijä: Lawrence Block)
Matthew Scudder is dying, one bottle at a time. A young prostitute named Kim Dakkinen is dying too, her life measured out in tricks. She wanted out, had asked for Scudder's help, but suddenly she wasn't dying anymore, she was just dead. The former cop turned P.I. promised to protect her, but he failed. Now his atonement is to find her killer. But the secrets in the dead hooker's past are dirtier than her living, and searching for a killer in a city where everyone's a victim is a good way to make the role permanent. Steeped in traditional pulp, Block's writing has a true gift for capturing the art of conversation between his characters. These are the lowlifes of society, for whom Block occasionally finds redemption, but who are more often among the vilest beings in human existence. Snyder's art both encapsulates and elevates these rough-cut gems in a graphic, grainy, and moody setting that evokes the dark, noir magazine covers of the period. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
