The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this Grand Master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. </p>
That was the thing about New York -- if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world. </p>
In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens -- bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers -- the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants, including: </p>
John Blair Creighton, a writer on the verge of a breakthrough; </p>
Francis Buckram, a charismatic ex–police commissioner -- and the inside choice for the next mayor -- on the verge of a breakdown; </p>
Susan Pomerance, a beautiful, sophisticated folk-art dealer plumbing the depths of her own fierce sexuality; </p>
Maury Winters, a defense attorney who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness; </p>
Jerry Pankow, an ex-addict who has turned being clean into a living, mopping up after New York's nightlife; </p>
And, in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, an unlikely killing machine who wages a one-man war against them all. </p>
Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate. </p>

《小城》讀完,已有3個月,零思碎想的,一直不能下筆寫點什麼。覺得無法寫齣一篇一以統之的書評,又好像,你在跟一個朋友聊天,他傾訴很久,你靜靜聽,你無法全然認同,又覺縱是自己開口說話也無用,便終是沉默。點上一根煙,眼瞅著木頭桌子,看時間一點一點挪過去。 ...
評分蔔洛剋的這部小說,一定會有很多人討厭,就像會有很多人愛一般。世界上最偉大也最復雜得城市成為主角,又附加九.一一的標簽,爭議,口水就注定不可能不在其齣現後充斥坊間。 我想說的是,不論這樣一部小說和之前的係列相比在結構上作瞭多大的改變,也不管在遣詞用句或角色塑造上...
評分9.11老去瞭。對大多數非美籍人士來說,是這樣子的。基地組織還會冒齣頭為某汽車炸彈負責,美國軍隊還在窮摺騰、聲稱又生擒或擊斃某基地頭目。不過,我們早就將這場不是戰爭的戰爭視作一種遊戲,貓和老鼠。興許,貓兒隻是在追自己的尾巴玩,煞有介事地,假裝沒人瞧齣它懷的什麼...
評分給4分推薦,是因為這是布洛剋的小說。隻給4分推薦,是因為篇幅太短,總有些地方未及展開。還是得成係列纔過癮。 結構有一點點鬆散,同樣是眾多人物如走馬燈齣場的推理小說,《行李箱之麯》在情節上就復雜緊湊得多,更加一氣嗬成。可是看布洛剋的東西,懸疑推理的情節反而顯得...
評分很好很強大,必須這樣說,《小城》是一本氣勢足夠霸道的書,被譽為當代歐美偵探推理小說第一人的勞倫斯•布洛剋,依然以硬朗之筆,寫下飽含暴力與優雅,冷酷與憂傷,驚悚與柔情的故事。但這一本他似乎用瞭更多的力氣,來勢更加淩人。首先,吸引力已經足夠,雖然厚度遠超一般...
圖書標籤: 勞倫斯·布洛剋 小說 英文原版 自娛 美國 小說 Block 犯罪
怎麼說呢????
評分慕名買瞭這本書,網上傳得紛紛揚揚,其實是一本很好的書,很多人當顔色書看可惜瞭,裏邊好些好段子值得慢慢體會!
評分跟著wyman讀書係列
