It's reminiscent of 'Ghost Town' by the same author and 'The Unconsoled' by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's very playful with the genre, although I don't read mysteries anymore. That genre seems a bit too formulaic. I couldn't stop trying to figure out the ending, and most of my guesses were off the mark. It's a result of the genre that you are trying to figure out who the bad guys are. ( ) Phil M. Noir es el detective privado más desquiciado de New London. Con un abrigo ajado, mal afeitado y renqueante, recorre las calles más sórdidas de la ciudad tratando de elucidar los oscuros asuntos de sus clientes, como el de una viuda de riguroso luto y piernas deslumbrantes cuyo marido ha sido asesinado en un ajuste de cuentas. De bar en bar y de informador en informador, Noir persigue esa confidencia que le acerque al asesino. I understand that this was intended as an homage and somewhat of a spoof of noir crime novels, but for me it failed on both counts. I wound up just being annoyed. The narrative made no sense, which I could have put up with if it was funny, but it wasn't. Some Coover fans will probably explain that I am just not getting his style. Ok, but I am still not sure how that explains a narrative that doesn't make sense, told out of order. Save yourself some annoyance. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
You are Philip M. Noir, Private Investigator. A mysterious young widow hires you to find her husband's killer. If he was killed. Then your client is killed and her body disappears. If it was your client. Your search for clues takes you through all levels of the city, from classy lounges to lowlife dives, from jazz bars to a rich sex kitten's bedroom, from yachts to the morgue. 'The Case of the Vanishing Black Widow' unfolds over five days above ground and three or four in smuggler' tunnels, though flashback and anecdote, and expands time into something much larger. You don't always get the joke, though most people think what's happening to you is pretty funny. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
