James Ellroy 38809

The Best American Noir of the Century

Windmill, 2010. Paperback. Pp: 640. "In his introduction to the The Best American Noir of the Century, James Ellroy writes, noir is the most scrutinized offshoot of the hard-boiled school of fiction. It s the long drop off the short pier and the wrong man and the wrong woman in perfect misalliance. It s the nightmare of flawed souls with big dreams and the precise how and why of the all-time sure thing that goes bad. Offering the best examples of literary sure things gone bad, this collection ensures that nowhere else can readers find a darker, more thorough distillation of American noir fiction. James Ellroy and Otto Penzler, series editor of the annual The Best American Mystery Stories, mined one hundred years of writing 1910 2010 to find this treasure trove of thirty-nine stories. From noir s twenties-era infancy come gems like James M. Cain s Pastorale, and its post-war heyday boasts giants like Mickey Spillane and Evan Hunter. Packing an undeniable punch, diverse contemporary incarnations include Elmore Leonard, Patricia Highsmith, Joyce Carol Oates, Dennis Lehane, and William Gay, with many page-turners appearing in the last decade.".

Perfidia

Random House UK. Paperback. Pp: 720. It is December 6 1941. America stands at the brink of World War II. Last hopes for peace are shattered when Japanese squadrons bomb Pearl Harbor. Los Angeles has been a haven for loyal Japanese-Americans - but now, war fever and race hate grip the city and the Japanese internment begins. The hellish murder of a Japanese family summons three men and one woman. William H. Parker is a captain on the Los Angeles Police. He's superbly gifted, corrosively ambitious, liquored-up and consumed by dubious ideology. He is bitterly at odds with Sergeant Dudley Smith - Irish émigré, ex-IRA killer, fledgling war profiteer. Kay Lake is a 21-year-old dilettante looking for adventure. Hideo Ashida is a police chemist and the only Japanese on the L.A. cop payroll. The investigation throws them together and rips them apart. The crime becomes a political storm centre that brilliantly illuminates these four driven souls - comrades, rivals, lovers, history's pawns. Perfidia is a novel of astonishments. It is World War II as you have never seen it, and Los Angeles as James Ellroy has never written it before. Here, he gives us the party at the edge of the abyss and the precipice of America's ascendance. Perfidia is that moment, spellbindingly captured. It beckons us to solve a great crime that, in its turn, explicates the crime of war itself. It is a great American novel. ISBN: 9780099537755. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Sei pezzi da mille

Mondadori, 2002. Paperback. Pp: 762. "Sei pezzi da mille" inizia dove "American tabloid" finisce: dall'attentato a Kennedy e dal complotto per insabbiarlo. James Ellroy allaccia così il suo racconto ai grandi eventi di quegli anni, e i suoi personaggi, sbirri, assassini, malviventi e provocatori, si mescolano ai protagonisti e alle vicende di quegli anni: da Martin Luther King ai fratelli Kennedy, dalle tensioni con Cuba al Vietnam, i fili della storia vera e inventata si intersecano in un solo "incubo americano".
