Cobertes de Jim Thompson 9 gènerenegre, 28 Aquesta té l'interés afegit de comptar amb una esplèndida coberta de Clark Hulings, reputat pintor realista que, per desgràcia, no es va prodigar massa com a il·lustrador de paperbacks. 26.

Última novel·la publicada en vida per Jim Thompson als EUA. 38. THE GETAWAY (La fugida | La huida) New York: Bantam Books #7592, 1973. Llevat de comptades excepcions, les novel·les de Jim Thompson no es van arribar a reeditar als Estats Units fins anys després de que aquest hagués mort. Una d'aquestes excepcions és aquesta edició de La huida llançada amb motiu de la pel·lícula de Sam Peckinpah. La seva desconcertant coberta és una bona mostra del marcat declivi estètic sofert pel mercat del llibre de butxaca nord-americà als anys setanta. 39.

Polito covers all the bases, empties all the closets to portray Thompson, one of Oklahoma's greatest, and least sung, writers. Brent Legault says More than a little exhaustive. I could have done without much of it, especially his early life, which I found to be a yawn. But later, when the novels and their circumstances were discussed, things perked up. And then, there was the picture of him with the cat.

  • Jim Thompson's Oklahoma
    Smithsonian Channel: Original Programming in HD and On D... http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/show_sou... Search The Darkest Guidebook Ever? Before Jim Thompson became the dean of American noir novelists with classics like The Killer Inside Me (soon to be a major motion picture with Kate Hudson and Casey Affleck) and The Grifters, he grew up in a place where life mirrored pulp. Born in Oklahoma in 1914, by his twenties Thompson had bounced around Oklahoma towns, worked as a West Texas oil hand, and procured booze and women to hotel guests as a bellboy. In the 1930s, as the Great Depression deepened, Thompson was struggling to avoid poverty by writing about the outlaws, bad cops and wild spaces of Oklahoma. First he wrote for the pulps – Master Detective, True Detective, and more. But when he couldn’t eke out a living for his family with the pay from those magazines, Thompson took a job writing for the tours section of the WPA guide to Oklahoma. Gradually his writing skills made him invaluable and he worked his way up to become the guide’s main editor. The result may be one of the darkest guidebooks ever. Thompson kicked off a chapter about local folklore with an account of an Oklahoman who "ran amuck on a visit to town and, in the course of a few minutes, killed a representative of each of five races." Retracing his steps with the WPA guidebook is like getting a Coen Brothers' tour of the Blood Simple or No Country for Old Men. It opens your eyes to a side of America that Thompson saw for real before he made it up.

An Application of Polysystem Theories of Translation. By: Isabel Palomo Merino Directed by: Dr. Javier Ortiz García, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Madrid, 2017 Dissertation Abstract – Universidad Autónoma de Madrid From the Periphery to the Canon: Detective Fiction in Spain Through the Works of García Pavón, Cain, Vázquez Montalbán and Thompson. An Application of Polysystem Theories of Translation. Isabel Palomo Merino Directed by: Dr. Javier Ortiz García, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Madrid, 2017 Detective fiction has become one of the most popular genres in our present times; but why and how did detective fiction become so popular in Spain? This dissertation studies the development of the genre of detective fiction in Spain, written both by Spanish writers and as translations from American authors, framed within the historical period that extends from the Franco Regime up to our present days. It was during the dictatorship that translations of foreign detective fiction started to reach the country and a sense of collective imagination on the topic began to be created, influenced also by the movie adaptations that reached Spain, by the numerous pseudotranslations, and by journals like El Caso. The foreign model of detective fiction was adopted by national writers who re- created it within a new context: classic detective fiction influenced the work of Francisco García Pavón, and hardboiled detective fiction –analyzed through the works of James M.

September 1906 in Anadarko, Oklahoma. Mit 14 Jahren begann er zu schreiben und verkaufte als 15-Jähriger seine erste Kriminalgeschichte. Während seiner Studienjahre veröffentlichte er regelmäßig Geschichten in Pulp-Magazinen wie True Detective, später schrieb er auch für die New York Daily News und Los Angeles Times Mirror. Außerdem war er für kurze Zeit Chefredakteur des Saga Magazine. 1931 lernte er seine spätere Frau Alberta kennen, im gleichen Jahr heirateten die beiden.
