Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Three stories by Repairman Jack creator F. Paul Wilson, purposely echoing the Yellow Peril stories of the early 1900s such as Sax Romer's still popular if politically incorrect Fu Manchu books. These stories are clever and are tenuously linked, set in the 1930s or so and involve a somewhat exotic Chinese underworld organization run by a Fu Manchu-like crimelord. A lot of fun and with typical skill of author Wilson. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Yellow Peril. . . how can a phrase that reeks so of racism and paranoia yield a body of fiction so. . . cool? The term originated in the late nineteenth century. Chinese immigrants were flooding our western shore and spreading throughout the country at a time when their homeland was growing more and more militaristic. Could this mass immigration be a silent first wave of an eventual invasion? Chinese villains became regulars in the penny dreadfuls. In 1913 Sax Rohmer created the paradigm for all oriental evil from then on: Fu-Manchu... (from the Foreword) "'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong' is a fully realized throwback to the heyday of the 'yellow-peril' tale. But what else can you expect from the creator of Repairman Jack, a Shadow-like figure himself, and the best example of the pulp mentality operating in the modern day? (Green Man Reviews) SEX SLAVES OF THE DRAGON TONG - a Yellow Peril triptych - contains the title story, plus "Part of the Game," and the all-new "Dragon Tongue" - a trio of interconnected tales set in 1938 in San Francisco's Chinatown. Pulp fiction at its very best. "'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong' and 'Part of the Game'... Taken together, they form a larger and more satisfying work than many writers deliver in a whole novel... as well as a great example of Wilson's talent with character and setting." (SFRevu) "I'm absolutely in love with 'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong'... thank God for F. Paul Wilson. Another masterstroke," (Bookgasm) "'Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong'... captures the real essence of the pulps." (Publisher's Weekly)."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
