Nuit de fureur
Nuit de fureur | Jim Thompson
2 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
Quand on mesure un mtre cinquante avec des talonnettes, qu'on parait dix-sept ans au lieu des trente qu'on croit avoir, qu'on est presque aveugle et en train de crever de tuberculose, on a du mal se faire prendre au srieux. Mais ce n'est srement pas par hasard si c'est vous qu'on offre 30.000 dollars pour descendre un mafioso trop bavard. Et ce n'est pas par hasard non plus que deux superbes filles vous tombent dans les bras, mme si l'une d'elles souffre d'une infirmit sur laquelle vous aimeriez bien en savoir davantage... Nuit de fureur est un chef d'oeuvre. On y retrouve les thmes chers Thompson : l'rotisme noir, pouss jusqu' une sorte de perfection ; le ftichisme des corps torturs ; l'effroi et la fascination des mes carteles, en quilibre sur l'arte qui les spare de l'abme, (Franois Forestier, Polar).

Most of my Jim Thompson collection, there's sure to be a #revolver or two in here.

vivastory @Leftcoastzen Thanks! I also have the following somewhere (it's one of my favorites by him) 5y
Leftcoastzen Oh , I have that one around here somewhere, haven‘t read it yet . Need to find it !😂 5y
vivastory @Leftcoastzen It's pretty grim & disturbing (being Thompson) but sticks out as one of his best 5y
vivastory @Leftcoastzen I should have made more of an effort to find it & included it in my pic because the edition I have actually features a revolver on the cover 5y
flying_monkeys Years back I watched the movie adaptation of The Killer Inside Me 😱 and been too scared to read it (though I own it) or Thompson's other books... one day I'll be brave enough... maybe. 5y

Another deliciously twisted tale full of eccentric characters from the warped mind of the brilliant Jim Thompson. This was a reread, and yet the book retained its ability to shake and surprise me. He was a master story teller! A lesson in lean, mean and razor sharp narrative.
