Reseña del libro "Nobody's Coming Home (en Inglés)"
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE FUTURE F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, There are no second acts in American lives. Sadly, for most Americans occupying that thinnest strip of land between poverty and the grave, rarely does America afford so much as a first act or even prologue. Nobody's Coming Home introduces readers to several such doomed citizens from Lake County, Indiana. Their immutable characteristics differ. Their fates do not. Born under the heels of Uncle Sam's cruelest boots, they will struggle for a peek at daylight. Some might call these characters low lives. Some might call them losers. To dismiss them as beneath anyone else is to miss the beauty of the fight, the desire to sneak up and snatch the tiniest piece of the dying American Dream. Alec Cizak returns to the fictional towns of Haggard, Lublin, and Pawpaw Grove for brief, graphic exercises in contemporary noir. These stories do not offer safety. They offer the truth. They offer the last honest examination of how bad decisions aren't so much made as they are imposed. "Nobody's Coming Home is a valentine to the Raymonds: Chandler and Carver. Minimalist, unsentimental, unflinching, character rich, this book is a must for anyone who loves crime stories, or just good writing." -Chelsea CainNew York Times Bestseller "Cizak's prose is sharper than a blade held against your neck-he will give you the dreadful truth, and you will keep coming back for more." -Matt PhillipsAuthor of Countdown, Know Me from Smoke, and A Good Rush of Blood
