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. Great Story; Questionably Cheesy EndingBy FulgoreFor the most part, I really enjoyed the narrative scope of The Big Blow.It's shocking, explicit, brutal and has Lansdale's dark cast of humor.My only gripe comes with the last twenty pages or so that come off as a different book altogether. Like the pages were ripped out from one and put herein. The tone and pacing are inconsistent with what came before it and the ending doesn't follow through with the build of dread or cruel realism. I would've been slightly more agreeable had the denouement not gone a cliched Hollywood ending route with its last two pages. It felt like an editor came in and said, "No, this is just too dark. Clean it up for the masses."I like bittersweet finales that depict the hope amidst horror (and really dug the metaphor herein), but what occurs at the end just felt too clean and unlike that which came before it.Still a great read though. I mean, it's Lansdale.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Harrowing Story With Historical BackdropBy Lawrence A. StridGreat novella from Joe Lansdale. Set against the background of the great hurricane of 1900 that annihilated Galveston, the book jumps per chapter to showcase the actions of various residents of the town as the weather worsens and Jack Johnson begins a major heavyweight fight in the middle of the big blow. Who will live and who will die? Made for a quick but fascinating read and reaffirms my belief that Joe Lansdale is the greatest novelist alive. ldquo;The sea had turned black as a Dutch oven, the sky the color of gangrene, and between sea and sky there appeared to be something rising out of the water, something huge and oddly shaped, like a horrible sea god, and then Simmons realized what it was.rdquo;Galveston, Texas. September 4, 1900. A giant hurricanemdash;destined to be remembered as the storm of the centurymdash;is brewing offshore. Fighter John McBride has arrived from Chicago to challenge the local heavyweight champion, a 22 year-old Jack Johnson, as-yet unknown to the broader boxing world. Problem is, Johnson is black and the local Sporting Club doesnrsquo;t want him to leave the ring alive. Around this central story, Lansdale weaves a compelling historical tale, filled with prostitutes and gamblers, storm-tossed sailors and everyday citizens. His unflinching dialog recreates a time when racism and violence were facts of life. From Publishers WeeklyWith hundreds of short stories and over a dozen novels to his credit, the prolific and versatile award-winning Texas storytellerDbest known for his series featuring the mismatched East Texas private eyes Hap Collins and Leonard Pine (Bad Chili)Dstrives for darker irony in this often vulgar, sometimes bittersweet, patchwork novella depicting a latter-day Sodom and Gomorrah. The narrative builds an atmosphere of impending doom in the lives of a group of blithely unsuspecting denizens during the four days preceding the 1900 Galveston hurricane, considered by many as the most devastating North American natural disaster of the 20th century. On September 4, 1900, Isaac Cline, the Galveston, Tex., weatherman, receives an official telegram from the Weather Bureau in Washington: "Tropical storm disturbance moving northward over Cuba." That same afternoon, prizefighter John McBride arrives from Chicago, scheduled to fight the local heavyweight champion, a black man named "Lil" Arthur Johnson. Sponsored by a group of racist white businessmen, McBride is offered a $500 bonus if he kills Johnson in the fight. The next day the Washington Bureau warns that the tropical disturbance is moving northwest toward the Keys and could become dangerous. But there is no hint of danger in the balmy air as a romantic young woman loses her virginity to an opportunistic young gigolo on the beach. As the storm nears, two battered whores, a ship's captain sailing for Pensacola, a couple with a new baby, the betrayed virgin and the pugilists are all unprepared for approaching disaster. Despite the bare-knuckle prose, there is a heavy sense of karma lurking here. Lansdale's fans will snap it up. (Nov.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.From BooklistBoxer Jack McBride arrives in Galveston in September 1900 with mayhem on his mind. A local black fighter, Jack Johnson, appears to be on his way to the heavyweight championship. The syndicate that handles McBride wants him to derail the Johnson express and leave boxing's ultimate achievement for white men. After sharpening his skills by abusing a local prostitute, McBride is ready to go after Johnson, but a hurricane gets in the way--not just any hurricane, but the greatest natural disaster in North American history. Johnson, McBride, and the hurricane all converge at the same moment, with surprising results. In extending what had previously been a short story into a short novel, Lansdale adds historical detail and fleshes out his main characters. Initially appearing to be a foul-mouthed lout, McBride emerges as far more admirable than any of his socially connected employers. As he does in his current mainstream novel, The Bottoms [BKL Je 1 15 00], Lansdale offers an unflinching portrayal of racism as a social cancer. Wes LukowskyCopyright copy; American Library Association. All rights reservedAbout the AuthorWhere does Mojo storytelling come from? How does a fella learn to spin over-the-top yarns of any sort: horror, suspense, humor, science fiction, Western, what have you? First you got to see the world, like Champion Mojo Storyteller Joe R. Lansdale, who has lived everywhere from Gladewater, Texas to Mount Enterprise, Texas to Nacogdoches, Texas! ldquo;Texas is so wrapped up in myth and legend, itrsquo;s hard to know what the state and its people are really about,rdquo; says Lansdale. ldquo;Real Texans, raised on these myths and legends, sometimes become legends themselves. The bottom line is, Texas and its people are pretty much what most people mean when they use the broader term lsquo;America.rsquo; No state better represents the independent spirit, the can-do attitude of America, better than Texas.rdquo; The second ingredient to good Mojo storytelling is learning how to take a punch. Or a kick. Or a poke in the eye. And then learning how to avoid them. Lansdale is a student of the martial arts for more than thirty years. Hersquo;s a two-time inductee into the International Martial Arts Hall of Fame, one such honor bestowed upon him for his founding of Shen Chuan, Martial Science. He holds belts in Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu, Combat Hapkido, American Combat Kempo, and Aikido, amongst others; in fact, his standard day is six hours at the typewriter, three hours at Lansdalersquo;s Self Defense Systems, the martial-arts studio which he owns and at which he teaches.

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.

  • Edge of DARK WATER K a Knovel by Joe R
    Reading Group Guide edge of DARK WATER k A knovel by Joe R. Lansdale Joe R. Lansdale Foreword by Dan Simmons Foreword by Dan Simmons EdgeofDarkWater_TPtextF3.indd 1 12/12/12 11:52 AM a conversation with joe r. lansdale Edge of Dark Water is set during the Depression era. How much did the time period affect the story? What do you enjoy most about writing about earlier times? What’s most difficult about it for you? The Great Depression was the engine for the story. I didn’t make a point of identifying the era, I just sort of let the story determine that gradually with clues the reader would pick up on. I think I originally wrote it with a year in mind, and slipped it in, but when I started rereading it, I took that out. I thought it stood on its own, and the time period would be evident, and that if it wasn’t, it would stand on its own without it. But I think it’s pretty clear. I grew up on stories about the Great Depression because my father and mother were born at the turn of the twentieth century, my father in 1909, my mother in 1914, I believe. My dad was in his early forties when I was born and my mother in her late thirties, so they had reached their mature years dur- ing the Great Depression. My father had ridden the rails to go from town to town to compete in boxing and wrestling matches at fairs. It wasn’t his primary way of making a living, but it was something he did because he needed the money, and he enjoyed it.

Rusty Puppy: Hap and Leonard Book Lansdale and book picks sent right to your inbox. Lansdale, a Mysterious Review". Not for the squeamish or prudish, to be sure so keep that in mind if the darker side of things bothers you. Works by Joe R. There was plenty of action and plot twists and turns, plus I thought the un- sentimental way the characters acted was refreshing. Your cart Close. As he told me later, no matter how big they grow, balls and eyes stay soft and a tire tool has no friends. They'd stopped coming from Tulsa to deliver a message from Tillie that she needed help. Free Returns We hope you are delighted with everything you buy from us. I think one of the things missing is the spark of humor is a bit subdued this time around. Rumble tumble, the fifth book in Lansdale's Hap and Leonard series is a bit of a tough pill to swallow at times. In the end, Tilly's saved, but Hap isn't quite sure she's worth it, given how many other people died and in what circumstances.
