I'll have to check out 'The Long Drunk.' Maybe I'll shell out for one of those Kindle things; gotta be cheaper than flushing 8-10 bux a pop for imported used books in Germany.<br /><br />dbDunkin' Berlinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541403455344448362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256707145494645488.post-73486098458070183122012-01-30T17:04:33.795-08:002012-01-30T17:04:33.795-08:00Speaking of books (and Hollywood), I've got a ...Speaking of books (and Hollywood), I've got a book on my Kindle, gifted from the author, that made me think of you. Because of the books you enjoy...not the drunk part...lol. Here's a blurb of the book, entitled The Long Drunk, by Eric Coyote:<br /><br />"Inspired by Chandler, Steinbeck, and Quentin Tarantino, THE LONG DRUNK tells the story of a homeless alcoholic who must solve a cold-case murder in order to save his best friend's life. Set in the gutters, bars, and alleys of Venice, California, this darkly comic crime/detective saga is filled with sex, violence, booze, and plenty of foul street talk. It is hard-boiled, heartbreaking, gritty as hell, and thoroughly immerses the reader in the squalid yet resourceful underworld of the down-and-out. By juxtaposing the cruel realities of life on the street with the obscene wealth of the Hollywood elite, Coyote has created a ultra noir masterpiece for the ages. THE LONG DRUNK will leave you crying, laughing, and begging for more."<br /><br />***<br />I thought it might grab you at the "noir" part, or the mention of Quentin Tarantino. I was also thinking of Hunter S. Thompson, too.Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.com
