Este libro no solo me atrapó sino que me emocionó muchisimo al final. Sin duda Pizzolatto es mucho mas que "el creador de True Detective", es un escritor con todas las letras y todos los recursos narrativos para atrapar y enamorar al lector. Es una novela cruda y humana. Un libro hermoso.

It was only an idea, too."Roy Cady is diagnosed with a terminal illness and if that ain’t bad enough, his boss wants to put him in the ground as s...
Like most everyone else who saw the TV show, I decided to read Galveston after enjoying HBO's "True Detective." I didn't need to know much more about it other than the fact that it was the same author, and that the novel got some good recognition even before the show was such a hit. I figured it wou...
The hero refers to specific women (his ex, and his new acquaintance) as "sluts", so he's more of an anti-hero - not as bad as "the bad guys".

I was drawn into the dingy atmosphere of this book and swept away into a world where I could see and smell and touch everything. Pizzolatto's prose is simplistic but punchy. The...

Shades of Lehane and McCarthy, and as with some of McCarthy's work, GALVESTON, at times, requires a modicum of patience from the reader.Still, this is an impeccably written, almost poetic tale about the destruction of self, and how an inherently corrupt nature can be a black hole for those you wish ...
