While not super original, it’s a great example for a story that captures the trap of a main character in a cycle of crime and violence, where ambition to break out is dented by their environment and the actions of immediate others, but there’s lots of musing in it about whether it might be down to character (which I find to be very American). ![]() The novel is a bleak, personal and atmospheric, well written crime fiction. ![]() It’s a great story taking place in a „drive past“ place, a wasteland of blacktop and hillbilly country.
