But the hellhounds are still on his trail, and they brutally attack Nat Love's love. Pursuing the men who have driven his wife mad, Nat heads south for a final, deadly showdown against those who would strip him of his home, his love, his freedom, and his life. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Joe R. Lansdale is the author of more than three dozen novels, including The Thicket, Edge of Dark Water, The Bottoms, and A Fine Dark Line . He has received the British Fantasy Award, the American Mystery Award, the Edgar Award, the Grinzane Cavour Prize for Literature, and nine Bram Stoker Awards. He lives with his family in Nacogdoches, Texas. "Fantastic . Lansdale has pulled out all the stops to deliver a rip-roaring tale."― Paula L. Woods , Los Angeles Times. "[A] breakout novel . Addictive fun . A rollicking ride that's suspenseful, hilarious and satisfyingly redemptive. Lansdale at his funniest and most energetic, with some of the most engaging writing you'll read this year. Lansdale has unleashed something remarkable."― Dwight Silverman , Houston Chronicle. "Joe R. Lansdale takes on Nat Love and the legend of Deadwood Dick in his new novel, Paradise Sky, and hosannas should be sung to him for doing so. Paradise Sky is a remarkable achievement, an instant classic of Western lit. It sometimes seems as if [Lansdale] has published around a thousand novels, and he, no doubt, will publish many more. Paradise Sky may well prove to be Lansdale's best."― W.K. Stratton , Dallas Morning News. "A deftly told yarn. Everything about Paradise Sky is classic Western drama . You can almost smell the beans heating up on the campfire and see the rugged beauty of the frontier."― Evan Rodriguez , Austin American-Statesman. "Lansdale is a master storyteller and this novel is a prime example of his talent. Paradise Sky is at times exciting, inspiring, surreal, and heartbreaking. In other words, the novel is true to life."― Josef Hernandez , Examiner.com. "Beautiful literary prose . He fills each page with heartbreak, suspense, hope, and laughter."― Eric J. Guignard , New York Journal of Books. "Folksy, cinematic . Lansdale fills his pages with true-hearted heroes, dastardly scoundrels, and rollicking adventures."― Publishers Weekly (starred) "Paradise Sky is a rowdy, funny, suspenseful, and often quite moving yarn."― Booklist (starred) "This fast-paced Western with its multicultural cast of characters is a winner."― Library Journal (starred) "It is a full-blooded western, served up unapologetically and masterfully Lansdale-style and set in the 1870s. Paradise Sky is an unblinking and unvarnished look at a rough-edged time and place in United States history, one that never becomes overburdened with the sorrow of tragic events while respecting the good times and recognizing their temporary nature. Lansdale is one of those very rare authors who can have his readers howling with laughter during one sentence while bringing tear to their eyes with the next."― BookReporter. Paradise Sky – Joe R. Lansdale. Young Willie is on the run, having fled his small Texas farm when an infamous local landowner murdered his father. A man named Loving takes him in and trains him in the fine arts of shooting, riding, reading, and gardening. When Loving dies, Willie re-christens himself Nat Love in tribute to his mentor, and heads west. In Deadwood, South Dakota Territory, Nat becomes a Buffalo Soldier and is befriended by Wild Bill Hickok. After winning a famous shooting match, Nat’s peerless marksmanship and charm earn him the nickname Deadwood Dick, as well as a beautiful woman. But the hellhounds are still on his trail, and they brutally attack Nat Love’s love. Pursuing the men who have driven his wife mad, Nat heads south for a final, deadly showdown against those who would strip him of his home, his love, his freedom, and his life. “That first loving kiss, the one that comes out of you from the source of your personal river, and the one that comes from her that is the same, there’s never another moment like it; never another flame that burns so hot. It can never be that good again, ever. All manner of goodness can come after, but it’s different. And that’s a good thing, because if we burned that hot for too long, we’d be nothing but ash.” This book is outstanding! Don’t I end up saying that about every Lansdale I read, though? Well.. it’s true! I had recently mentioned in a tweet that reading Joe R. Lansdale is like getting sucker punched in the sternum, having your heart ripped out & then stomped on, only to have it thrown back into your empty chest cavity while your assailant laughs maniacally. And I think that’s beautiful. He is truly one of the most clever storytellers there is, cementing himself as one of my very favorite writers! Paradise Sky is.. I would say Paradise Sky is Joe Lansdale’s best book (that I have read) yet! Nat Love is one of the most authentic narrators I have ever read. Just so believable & incredibly likable. You can’t help but root for this kid! His story essentially begins by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. From there, we travel with the character formally known as Willie through the Old West, including Deadwood. It’s one misadventure after the next for Nat Love (aka Deadwood Dick!) Paradise Sky is loosely based on the real Nat Love (one of the most famous black cowboys), so many iconic characters make an appearance throughout. Wild Bill, The Lone Ranger & Calamity Jane, just to name a few! This book is is bleak & violent & tragic. It’s about racism & justice & revenge. Yet.. the way Lansdale writes, it’s so fucking delightful to read! There is also hope & laughter & love & a shit-ton of action! Nobody does melancholy humor in quite the way that Lansdale does. I found myself giggle snorting one minute & then tearing up the next. This is a beautifully told story! Joe Lansdale is his own hybrid genre of stabby-crime- western-OMFG THIS IS SO DAMN BONKERS & I fucking love it! Brilliant characters & a blazing plot, paired with the always exceptional prose from Lansdale – Paradise Sky blends fact & fiction masterfully! It’s so nice to read a western that isn’t the typical whitewashed version of the Old West. We need more stories like this! If you have yet to read a book by Joe R. Lansdale, you absolutely MUST! I’m not in the business of telling people what to do.. but goddamn. JUST DO IT! Paradise Sky. Despite its apparent solidity as a genre, the "Western" is built upon a rather shaky foundation. While readers enjoy inhabiting a world of saloons teeming with prospectors, cattle rustlers, and dancing girls, and sauntering along the dusty streets amid livery stables, blacksmith shops, and stage- coach arrivals, the reality of life in the Old West was pretty miserable. The work was often back-breaking, the food bad, the weather unforgiving, and many frontier towns were more flush with dysentery and horse manure than gold.

    XV EDIZIONE 2019 FESTIVAL BLUES STAMPA c f festivaldalmississippialpo.com 11-12-13-14 LUGLIO FIORENZUOLA D’ARDADAL MISSISSIPPI(PC) AL PO | 1 Il Sindaco Romeo Gandolfi “Sono orgoglioso di poter ospitare nuovamente il Festival Blues dal Missisipi al Po, in quanto una manifestazione musicale di questo calibro contribuisce a dare maggiore lustro alla Città di Fiorenzuola d’Arda. Si tratta di una prestigiosa kermesse musicale che si terrà dall’11 al 14 Luglio, nella splendida cornice di Piazza Molinari, con anteprima il 28 Giugno e che vedrà esibirsi sul palco alcuni tra i maggiori rappresentanti del genere musicale, co- nosciuti anche a livello internazionale. Da non dimenticare anche il risvolto culturale oltre che artistico della manifestazione, grazie agli ulteriori momenti di riflessione sulla musica, che si terranno all’ex-Macello, con gli autori ospiti. Il Festival, arrivato alla sua 15^ edizione, viene ospitato per il terzo anno consecutivo nella nostra città. È stata proprio la nostra Amministrazione a puntare sulla manifestazione, che si è trasferita da Piacenza dopo anni, e questo per me e la Giunta rappresenta un vanto, considerato il successo che l’evento ottiene anno dopo anno. I numerosi eventi che la Città di Fiorenzuola sta realizzando, rappresentano un’occasione turistica e promozionale; incrementano il numero di visitatori e di conseguenza l’introito dei commercianti locali e lo sviluppo di tutto il territorio a livello turistico. Dati confermati dall’Assemblea annuale AEVF ovvero l’Associazione Europea delle Vie Francigene che si è tenuta a Besancon in Francia. Qui ho potuto illustrare i progetti di rigenerazione urbani legati proprio alla nota Via Francigena, che nell’ultimo anno, numeri alla mano, ha registrato il doppio delle presenze.

Lansdale : The Big Blow before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Big Blow: 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lansdale at his best, which is as good as it getsBy Timothy HallinanJoe R. Lansdale is the writer I want most to meet. He has every tool a skillful writer needs, but more importantly, he has the talent that makes a great writer -- the ability to see inside people and present them, whole and breathing (often, in this book, panting) on the page. From its hilarious, unquotable first line through the greatest depiction of a hurricane I've ever read, this is Lansdale at his best, which it to say on a par with the very best living American writers. I haven't even mentioned that he can write practically anything, from "serious" novels to "Bubba Ho- tep" and everything in between (including sci-fi, horror, and westerns) with total conviction and great flair. Try "Paradise Sky" if you like westerns or the Hap and Leonard books if you like thrillers, or "Edge of Dark Water" if you'd like a modern take on "Huckleberry Finn." But if you're not reading Lansdale, you're cheating yourself. (And the way he writes the storm in this book is on a par with the great James Lee Burk in "The Tin Roof Blowdown."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

    Texas Institute of Letters October/November/December 2014 Newsletter Website: http://www.texasinstituteofletters.org/ Lawrence Wright to be honored at TIL’s spring meeting in Houston as winner of Lon Tinkle Award At the fall meeting in Austin of TIL’s councilors and former presidents, Lawrence Wright was chosen as the 2015 winner of the Lon Tinkle Award for Lifetime Achievement. It will be presented at the April 11 awards banquet at the Hilton Hotel on the campus of the University of Houston. This award is given annually to recognize a distinguished writer whose career in letters is associated with the state. Last year’s winner of the Lon Tinkle Award, Jan Reid, has written the beautiful essay below about Larry Wright. It should be noted that since Jan’s essay, which he wrote only earlier this month, Larry’s recent book, Thirteen Days in September: Carter, Begin, and Sadat at Camp David, has been named one of the 10 best non-fiction books of the year by the New York Times and Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews lists it as one of the best non-fiction works of 2014. Here’s Jan’s essay about Larry: “Watergate was such a joy. For nearly two years no one spoke of anything else. It was a national obsession, a slow-moving coup d’etat. Because it was such a spectacle and lasted so long, Watergate became as much a part of my life as a war or an economic depression or some other ongoing national calamity, and yet I experienced it not as disaster but as theater.

  • Joe R Lansdale
    Praise for Hap and Leonard: Blood and Lemonade “Blood and Lemonade is the best of Lansdale and the best of Hap and Leonard. As urgent as it is timeless. As fun as it is thoughtful. It haunts you while it kicks your ass. Joe never lets you down, just shows you over and over why he’s the best.” —Jim Mickle, director of Cold in July “A brilliant ‘mosaic’ novel. An amazingly vivid style that feels like Hemingway. Themes that are especially important for our time. With these early adventures of his compelling Hap and Leonard characters, Joe R. Lansdale hits a new high.” —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art “Magnificent storytelling.” —Char’s Horror Corner “Joe Lansdale is our East Texas Hemingway, and here’s another example of what makes him great. In Hap & Leonard: Blood and Lemonade, he carves out beauty with plain words and direct sentences. Some of the stories in this mosaic novel are horrifying, others gritty, sad, thrilling, and funny, but all of them are beautiful. I ate it up.” —Daryl Gregory, author of Spoonbenders and We Are All Completely Fine HapAndLeonardBloodAndLemonade.indb 1 1/20/2017 1:10:50 PM Praise for Hap and Leonard “Seven laid-back adventures, one of them brand new, for “freelance troubleshooter” and good old boy Hap Collins and his gay black Republican partner Leonard Pine. No one currently working the field demonstrates more convincingly and joyously the deep affinity between pulp fiction and the American tall tale.” —Kirkus «“Last seen in the novel Honky Tonk Samurai, Lansdale’s incomparable East Texas crime fighting duo show their chops in this remarkable story collection.

  • L'ultima Caccia
    Joe R. Lansdale L’ultima caccia Traduzione di Seba Pezzani L’ultima caccia Parte prima I. Accadde nell’estate del 1933 tra le paludi del fiume Sabine, nel Texas orientale. Quelli che ancora se lo ricordano, lo chiamano l’anno del Cinghiale del Demonio. Fu anche il periodo in cui Richard Harold Dale diventò uomo all’età poi non cosí matura di quindici anni. So quello che dico perché probabilmente quell’anno e il Cinghiale del Demonio me li ricordo meglio di chiunque altro. E ne ho ben donde. Sono io Richard Harold Dale e ne porto tuttora le cicatrici. Erano tempi duri quelli. Davvero duri. La Depressione infuriava e sopravvivere non era molto facile. Immagino che, sotto molti punti di vista, a noi gente della campagna e delle paludi andasse meglio rispetto ai fighetti di città. Eravamo sempre stati poveri, e quando le cose si fecero difficili non ce ne accorgemmo quanto quelli che avevano lavori stabili e li persero. La nostra famiglia viveva dei prodotti della terra, come era sempre stato, coltivando ciò che mangiava e vendendo l’eccedenza. Negli anni Trenta era proprio l’eccedenza il nostro problema. Non si riusciva a realizzare granché. La gente era davvero rimasta senza soldi. Ovviamente, il ’33 non fu un anno tanto buono nemmeno per il nostro raccolto. Quello che non era stato rovinato dal gran caldo, se lo mangiarono le cimici. Fu come se tra le varie razze di insetti in ogni angolo della terra si fosse sparsa la voce che nei nostri campi si offriva un bel pasto gratuito a tutti: dovevano solo venire fin qui, portarsi appresso un amico, prendersi una breve vacanza, e mettere in pancia qualunque cosa riuscissero a mangiare.
