Items related to Dead Boys
These hard-hitting, deeply felt stories trace men-- straight arrows and outlaws, have-it-alls and outcasts-- as they take stock of their lives and missteps and struggle to rise above their troubled pasts. A salesman considers his tenuous relationship with his sister after she has been brutally attacked. A house painter looks forward to moving his family out of their seedy neighborhood as he plans his last bank robbery. A drifter finds a chance at love when he delivers news of a barfly's death to the man's estranged daughter.
These are hard-boiled tales of life on the edge in a city where the sun hurts your eyes and dreams die more often than they come true. Full of heart and heartbreak, "Dead Boys "is the debut of an astonishingly talented new writer.
"The best debut collection we have read all year....you could shelve Lange between Denis Johnson, Richard Ford, and Richard Yates, and no fights would break out....Lange writes with tremendous heart, his characters' inner turmoil as rich and varied as any of the above masters. Dead Boys, we think, will live for a very long time." -"-E! Online," Tod Goldberg
"Superlative short fiction, and an arresting debut."
--"Kirkus Reviews"

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. J'aime Los Angeles comme je pourrais aimer quelqu'un. Elle me tue et m'enchante chaque jour.Ville des stars et du succès, du rêve et des excès, L.A est le personnage principal des nouvelles de Richard Lange, qui n'offre à ses héros, perdants magnifiques, que l'envers d'un décor factice. Comme Raymond Carver avant lui, ce jeune auteur parvient à happer le lecteur dans des destins minuscules qu'il élève en tragédies, saisissant l'essence des êtres lorsqu'ils sont contraints par les circonstances à la vérité nue. Ces éclats de vie dérobée, ces âmes meurtries dans une ville kaléidoscope, vous fendront le coeur.Lange insuffle une nouvelle énergie dans la mythologie de Los Angeles. Ses nouvelles sont d'une beauté dévastatrice. Michael Connelly On compare Lange à Carver et on a raison. T.C. Boyle Un des meilleurs recueils de nouvelles de ces cinquante dernières années, à ranger aux côtés de Flannery O'Connor. San Francisco Chronicle - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol. (289 p.) - Poids : 404g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne Terres d'Amérique. Seller Inventory # N9782226192301
