Book Reviews of Perdita Durango (Gifford, Barry)
Book Review: Cine Noir set in TexMex.
Summary: 5 Stars
But what does it stand for? It's about people who think they can handle everything -but soon all turn up dead, including Romeo. And it's about Perdita who does not attempt to control her life, not to mention others', just uses life what for it is meant for: living it. She is a survivor, does not look back much (less than the ending of the movie would seem to suggest). Curiously, both the hero and the plot remind me, on a more implicit level, of Anthony Burgess' One hand clapping.
