“Nessuno sa davvero come fanno le persone ferite a trovarsi fra loro. Ma si trovano. Il dolore attrae il dolore, è una specie di magnetismo, un mutuo riconoscimento che crea un rifugio di comprensione. Con quella persona, non ti serve spiegare perché ti senti male, non ti tocca sentire consigli tipo “resisti e vai avanti”, non devi fingere di essere felice.”

— Don Winslow, “Città di sogni”.

La vita è come una grossa arancιa. Quando sei giovane ti affretti a strizzarla per prenderne subito tutto il succo. Quando sei più maturo la spremi più lentamente, ne assapori ogni stilla.

Don Winslow, da L'inverno di Frankie Machine

PP in a new project named Crime 101, with a UK producer.

Yeah, let’s see if they confirm the project and Pedro’s involvement. It seems interesting.

'Savages' - Oliver Stone Once Again Descends into a Realm of Drugs

WRITER’S NOTE: This review was written back in 2012. Some edits have been made since then to make it more interesting in the Ultimate Rabbit’s eyes. “Savages” is being looked at as Oliver Stone’s comeback movie, as if it is implied that he hasn’t made one worth watching in years. Granted, movies like “World Trade Center,” “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” and even “W.” might have made it look…

THE POWER OF THE DOG - Don Winslow (2005)

It’s been ages since I read I proper crime novel – about 30 years since I’ve gobbled up the detectives of Jef Geeraerts in my very early teens, and about 25 years since I’ve read the historical whodunit An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears, the 19th century police procedural The Alienist by Caleb Carr and The Red Ripper by Peter Conrad, a true crime title about Andrei Chikatilo, a Soviet…

City in Ruins by Don Winslow

How I fought, he thinks, what I gave for this. . . Nothing. This dust.

Don Winslow saved the best for last. The final book in the Danny Ryan Trilogy (and the final book of his 33-year writing career) City in Ruins is a masterful conclusion that finds Danny Ryan on the Las Vegas strip, building an empire and trying to stay legit while maneuvering the minefield of Vegas business-politics. While the first two each had their issues— City on Fire only suffers from an open end, but City of Dreams suffers from an open end, uneven tone and time wasted on recapping events)— City in Ruins is damn-near perfection, delivering an electrifying, thematically affecting crime epic.

Old joke, "This Irish guy walks past a bar. . ." That's it, that's the joke.

Capturing the vibes of Martin Scorsese's Casino while telling an original, hard-as-nails tale of survival in the hellscape that is Las Vegas, Winslow touches upon a little bit of everything, here. Whether we find ourselves in boardrooms of Las Vegas, the courtrooms of Providence or clandestine meetups anywhere in between, he balances the characters and genres so effortlessly and economically that we can't help but keep reading.

This is all that really matters, Danny thinks. These people, this life we've built together. This good life.

Winslow juggles these characters (new and old) and their individual plot lines so expertly that every moment hits home exactly as he intends, allowing him to wrap up this story of power, revenge and family in a way that's as thematically poignant as it is downright satisfying. He even nails the recapping, this time around, inserting it into moments that find Danny Ryan at his most reflective and discontent. So yeah, City in Ruins is indeed the perfect ending to the Danny Ryan Trilogy, but with its focus on legacy, it's also a pitch-perfect ending to Winslow's career.

Danny Ryan is home.

9/10

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

Gauthic Times #56 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Things Are Tough All Around

This week's update!

Hello, friends! I’m sitting here on Saturday night, nice and full from a delicious roast chicken dinner Pamela made. G is running around, playing her own musical à la Hamilton. We’ll probably do a family video game shortly and I’ll take a break from writing this. I’m writing this to remind myself of the good things, because inside I’m not really feeling this positive. Things have been real tough…

You can describe your wife, truthfully, as your best friend, but it's not the same thing. It's not that male thing, that brother-you-never-had, guy-you-hang-out-with thing. Cuates, amigos, almost hermanos. Hard to know how that happens.

-Don Winslow, The Power of the Dog
