Kurzbeschreibung
American crime fiction.
-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
Über den Autor
(1906 - 1977) James Meyers Thompson was born in Anadarko, Oklahoma. He began writing fiction at a very young age, selling his first story to True Detective when he was only fourteen. Thompson eventually wrote twenty-nine novels, all but three of which were published as paperback originals. Thompson also wrote two screenplays (for the Stanley Kubrick films “The Killing” and “Paths of Glory”). An outstanding crime writer, the world of his fiction is rife with violence and corruption. In examining the underbelly of human experience and American society in particular, Thompson’s work at its best is both philosophical and experimental. Several of his novels have been filmed by American and French directors, resulting in classic noir including The Killer Inside Me (1952), After Dark My Sweet (1955), and The Grifters (1963).

Format:Taschenbuch
"Pop 1280" is so full of paradoxes that it probably shouldn't work at all. It is beautiful yet brutal, poetic yet profane, hilarious yet horrifying. It deserves to be ranked among the great literary masterpieces of the American south. It is funnier than Eudora Welty's "Ponder Heart" or "The Robber Bridegroom," more depraved than Faulkner's "Sanctuary," and every bit as gripping as "To Kill A Mockingbird." Narrator/protagonist Nick Corey possesses as original and interesting a voice as Ignatius J. Reilley or Nick Carroway. Corey is a liar, a cheat, a glutton, an adulterer, a murderer, and a politician -- all the things we decent folk despise most -- but he is also a marvellously entertaining storyteller. Corey is as vile and repellent as Atticus Finch is good and decent, but I'd be hardpressed to say which one I'd rather sit and listen to for a couple of hours.

You will never read another book like this one, because there aren't any. This defies the hard boiled genre Thompson is known for. It is hard to describe the story without revealing too much of the plot. It is about an outwardly stupid, cowardly, spineless southern sherrif in the 1920's. By the end everything you thought was happening has been turned upside down. A must read.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is Thompson's blackly funny version of his previous masterpiece, "The Killer Inside Me." It's the same plot, but this time played for (ghastly) laughs. This time the sheriff in his madness begins to believe he is the second coming of a certain deity, and dispenses "justice" accordingly. There are passages describing the interior life of this character that will shake you to your bones in their depiction of insanity as a reasonable response to such a cruel world. This novel was made into a movie by the French filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier titled "Clean Slate" and the location was moved from Texas to colonial West Africa. It's a pretty good movie, but it's not the sick masterpiece of Thompson's book.

my favorite book by Jim Thomson.
My favorite book by Jim Thomson. It shows the narrowness of human being spirit, the boredown of small town and the danger of being clever. Yet it leaves place for redemption. Lesen Sie weiter...

An underappreciated classic
While some of Jim Thompson's other work (The Grifters, The Killer Inside Me) hews more closely to the classic themes of noir fiction, Pop. Lesen Sie weiter...

Dark, Dank, Sick, Great
Just when you think Thompson's characters have scraped absolute bottom, they find a way to go even lower. A splendid book about the very worst in human nature. Lesen Sie weiter...

Cynical and hilarious
Thompson's book is laugh-out-loud funny and impossible to put down. A totally dark picture of what drives people -- lust and the urge to be "on top" every which way.

Mind-numbing, beautiful dementia
The most exciting book I have read in years. I have begun to teach it in my classes. Thompson writes novels the way Odysseus tells stories: you're can be sure that if his fingers... Lesen Sie weiter...
