Polansky hits all the right notes in his intelligent first novel, a blend of dystopian fantasy and hard-boiled crime....Sharp, noir-tinged dialogue and astute insights into class struggle mark Polansky as a writer with a future." -- Publishers Weekly Potential: the monument includes significant archaeological deposits in the form of substantial upstanding earthworks and areas of buried remains, including large infilled ditches; Maitland’s Quay is a section of quayside on the old North Shields waterfront behind Bell Street, running from Maitland’s Lane to Mullin’s quay. The bustling waterfront provided the inspiration for a number of local artists. I am not head over heels in joy was an ok story, the author does present some skilled writing here.

Who is he, what is he? You’ll have to read for yourself as to reveal I think would detract from the style the author has set upon with this story..... its all about a slow release of information, that much I can tell so if you like that sort of story I recommend you give this a whirl. There is something equally fascinating and disturbing about watching your favourite author becoming a fan of a book series and see him talking about someone else’s novel with as much, almost childish enthusiasm as you do about his. At any rate, it’s not something that could be ignored for long, hence I soon found myself face-to-face with the culprit himself and it’s only sufficient to say that in my eyes Daniel Polansky had a hell of an expectation to live up to. As we learn more about Warden's talents and networking skills, certain parts of his past are revealed as well and these were some of the best parts of the book. Not only do they not slow down the fast pace of this book, but they move the plot forward deftly. The Strait Razor Cure, το πρώτο βιβλίο της τριλογίας Low Town, ο Daniel Polansky κάνει το ντεμπούτο παίρνοντας αυτά τα στοιχεία - παρακινημένος από αυτά που όλοι οι άλλοι συγγραφείς έφεραν στο τραπέζι - αλλά με μια ανατροπή, γράφοντας μια ιστορία που βλέπεις συχνότερα σε αστικά σύγχρονες παρά μεσαιωνικού τύπου εποχές· μια περιπέτεια που μας βουτά βαθιά μέσα σε μια βρώμικη, ανήθικη πόλη και μια μυστηριώδης υπόθεση δολοφονιών, συνδυάζοντας το αστυνομικό νουάρ με την φαντασία.

The property briefly comprises of an entrance hall, large dining/living room with characterful stone fireplaces and mullioned windows providing views over the property’s lawn gardens and towards the church, separate dining room/snug, a breakfast kitchen, and an externally accessed utility room. The first floor landing is particularly long and provides access to four double bedrooms, with bedroom one also benefitting from an en-suite, and a good-sized house bathroom. The property is situated close to superb rural walks and only a short walk away from Kirkburton’s bustling center and all its amenities. A character cottage, rare to the market and in a lovely location. PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS: the monument includes a very large prehistoric promontory fort at Roulston Scar, surviving as upstanding earthworks and buried archaeological deposits. The monument also includes the low earthworks of at least two barrows (prehistoric burial mounds). This is a story where Fantasy fans can get a taste of a hard boiled PI sort of character, with a good blend of dystopia and detective work in Low Town. The main protagonist is a Gritty been there and got the shirt detective Ex Low Town Government Special Services operative. He's now a man people fear on the streets, and is hired by the powers that be to find a murderer. The story is a straight forward search for killer story blended with a different setting, new rules and some new kind of characters to the long existing detective genre. Let me start by saying that 'The Straight Razor Cure' is unlike most books I `typically' read. While it's classed as fantasy, it actually comes across as more of a crime noir that just happens to be set in a secondary world - and this is by no means a bad thing. The novel combines different elements of various genres: we have a former detective investigating the crimes of a sinister serial killer, underlying messages about class division, a grimdark setting, and a few aspects of traditional high fantasy, such as magic. It's fresh and interesting, and an additional dark undertone is provided by the numerous parallels between Polansky's fictional universe and our own world.

But to the dwindling number of people who grew up in the tiny mining community on the outskirts of Dudley which was razed to the ground more than 60 years ago, Low Town is so much more. The magnificent hammerbeam roof in the nave dates from the reconstruction in 1662, while nearly all the fixtures (choir stalls, stained glass, pulpit and reredos) were installed during or after a thorough restoration in the mid-19th century. There are some things a man can’t fake, and lethality is one of them—a lapdog might learn to howl, even bare its teeth on occasion, but that don’t make it a wolf.” I keep thinking I've read all of Bolano's fiction and then I keep finding little bits I haven't – I hope this trend continues on indefinitely.

The recollections of a would be gun moll, though of course Bolano's plots cannot really be reduced to thumbnails, this is one of the best of Bolano's 'lesser' works, here indicating length and not quality, for in fact I think his strengths might be, first and foremost, in the novella and the novelette. In any case, he is is in top form here; his writing is at once brilliant and insightful without ever breaking out of the character's voice. It feels absolutely natural but also terribly, terribly clever, which should be impossible but somehow isn't. Sexy, scary, always vital, a minor masterpiece which once again confirms Bolano's status as one of the greatest writers of the modern age.

Mete un montón de razas pero son poco más que nombres, salvo los reconocibles como “chinos”. I found him really hard to connect to. Sometime you have characters like that and they are made more human by those that surround them. Sometimes that worked out and other time he seemed more of a jerk because of those surrounding him.
