Produktinformationen zu „Drive, Film Tie-In “
"Much later, as he sat with his back against an inside wall of a Motel 6 just north of Phoenix, watching the pool of blood lap toward him, Driver would wonder whether he had made a terrible mistake. Later still, of course, there'd be no doubt. But for now Driver is, as they say, in the moment. And the moment includes this blood lapping toward him, the pressure of dawn's late light at windows and door, traffic sounds from the interstate nearby, the sound of someone weeping in the next room ..." Thus begins" Drive", a novella by James Sallis. Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., the story is, according to Sallis, "... about a guy who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. In classic noir fashion, he is double-crossed and, though before he has never participated in the violence ('I drive. That's all.'), he goes after the ones who doublecrossed and tried to kill him."
Klappentext zu „Drive, Film Tie-In “
Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., Drive is about a man who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. Sallis combines murder, treachery and payback in a sinister plot with resonances of 1940s pulp fiction and film noir. Told through a cinematic narrative that weaves back and forth through time and place, the story explores Driver's near?existential moral foundations, intercut with moments of bloody violence.

Rezension zu „Drive, Film Tie-In “
'Sallis creates vivid images in very few words and his taut, pared-down prose is distinctive and powerful. The result is a small masterpiece.' - Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph 'Sallis's lean mystery and flat-voiced prose are refreshing, even startling. A lovely piece of work.' - Paul Skenasy, Washington Post Books World - Best Books of 2005 'a minor masterpiece... minimalist, stylish, and all the more evocative for it. Essential noir existentialism.' - Maxim Jakubowski, The Guardian 'James Sallis has written a perfect piece of noir fiction.' - Marilyn Stasio, New York Times 'The novel is a terrific ride, and true to form, Sallis leaves us with an enigmatic teaser of an ending.' - Scott M Morris, Los Angeles Times 'Imagine the black heart of Jim Thompson beating in the poetic chest of James Sallis and you'll have some idea of the beauty, sadness and power of Drive' - Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune 'a compact, beautifully written little noir gem...' - Seattle Times
