✦ Synopsis


A tredici anni, impara a fumare sigari e a sedurre fanciulle sotto la guida del nonno bestemmiatore. Qualche tempo dopo, fa il fattorino d'albergo, e arrotonda lo stipendio spacciando alcolici. Poi congela per il freddo e trema di paura come guardiano di un oleodotto. Fa imbestialire gli insegnanti, frega gli uomini della mafia, e per poco non si fa ammazzare da un vice sceriffo. Infine, a un dato punto della sua vita, diventa uno dei piΓΉ grandi autori di genere che l'America abbia mai conosciuto... Andando a rimestare fra i suoi ricordi, Jim Thompson scrive un'autobiografia che Γ¨ una rilettura cinica dell'epopea americana, nonchΓ© una sorta di Huckleberry Finn del romanzo noir. Un testo appassionante come un romanzo, reso con un'ironia tagliente, senza sentimentalismi, senza pietΓ , con quella giusta dose di cinismo che raggela e diverte il lettore, come nelle sue opere piΓΉ conosciute.
