The Hunter (AKA Point Blank, 1962), the first hardboiled novel featuring his anti-hero Parker written by Donald E. Westlake as Richard Stark. A very hard-edged roller-coaster ride with cold-blooded disturbingly casual violence. A great book.

My review: https://vintagepopfictions.blogspot.com/2023/09/richard-starks-point-blank-aka-hunter.html

So ein wunderbarer Roman. #Noir-Krimi und #ScienceFiction zugleich. Obwohl ich ihn übersetzt habe, also intensiv kenne, bringt er mich immer noch zum Lachen und zum Weinen. Der Stoff zum Nachdenken flasht natürlich nicht mehr wie beim ersten Mal, aber ich finde das immer noch ein gehaltvolles Buch. Und ich glaube, es altert auch ziemlich gut.

Schade, dass es in Deutschland so untergegangen ist.

3 things about John Dahl’s RED ROCK WEST [1993]

1. He digs out some spare change from a coffee can under the seat.
2. "What should I do?"
"If I were you I'd get a divorce."
3. Impaled on a monument.

Ein wilder Noir-#Klassiker, rasant erzählt, mit vielen drastischen Wendungen und einer sich immer weiter zuspitzenden, atemlosen Handlung.

Eine Besonderheit: #Noir-Thriller spielen in der Regel im urbanen Milieu; A.D.G. versetzt das Personal in die französische Provinz.

Ein #Coutry-Noir, also.

Christopher Bauer :debian: :blobcatthinkingglare: :i3wm:

Recently finished An Honest Profession and Stolen Coast by Dwyer Murphy. These books really move along, really solid noir. They also provoke these seemingly unrelated contrasts for me: super evocative of places while spinning a hardboiled plot; absorbing pacing while the characters are easygoing. Amazing that Murphy holds those disparate pieces together.

Only note I'd offer is that they feature New York and the coast of MA respectively. Choosing New York for An Honest Profession was a bit frustrating, probably no other city has featured more widely in lit. I'd love to read some noir in Lagos or Jakarta by some local writers, something evocative of urban spaces with local meanings.

Officially signed a book contract for a Bigfoot horror novel 😯 Not something I thought I wanted to do until the publisher reached out asking if I had something, and it came to me in a flash. Now I'm psyched!

I'm not ready to share plot details, but if you want something gory and unique in the Bigfoot / Sasquatch realm, I think you'll like it.

The last seedy dregs of Times Square, circa 1980.
If someone doesn't use 'Tango Palace' as the title of a hard-boiled novel, I'll have to.

At the top of the frame, in the foreground, the marquee is outlined by bulbs in various levels of illumination; many seem to have gone permanently dark. The words 'TANGO PALACE' are fully illuminated. Above it, in the shadows, you can just make out the word, 'DANCING'. Below it, a sign says 'BROADWAY ART SHOW', but it lacks all conviction. Beyond, headlights gleam and glisten in the rain-soaked streets. Across the street, the Circus Theater advertises 'FILTHY RICH', and a few other signs light the street, but the city beyond is almost completely dark.

I'm quite enjoying Adrian McKinty's latest Sean Duffy novel, DETECTIVE UP LATE.

After struggling to survive on the income from the first 6 novels in the series, McKinty fell back to working as a bartender and an Uber driver.

Then Don Winslow helped him out with an introduction to a new agent and he produced 2019's thriller THE CHAIN, which was a smash hit.

Book 2 for Aug 2023

The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett

This is a well known story, more from the movie adaptations (especially the third one, the one with Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade)

It is quite entertaining and Dashiell has a great descriptive ability. There are no surprises if you have seen any of the movies but it is still worth a read (I read it to relax as a break from a much more serious book that I am currently working through)

Let’s talk about Border. I’m obsessed with this film; I just keep thinking about it. I know it’s five years old, but I just watched it now because it was on Channel 4 (in the UK). It has such a profound effect on me—I don’t even want to say too much because if you haven’t seen it yet, anything I could say would be a spoiler.
