Book Reviews of The Goodbye Kiss
Book Review: A black and white picture of obscure society corners
Summary: 5 Stars
I add this review above all as I disagree with a previous review from another reader. Comparing books, as he does, is a tricky and complex task. Thompson and Carlotto books are quite different under any aspect. Background, aims, means. Thompson and Carlotto are interested on focusing and bringing into light different aspects of crime. Some 50 more years have gone by between the two books. To advise re-reading Thompson in writing on Carlotto is as advising to re-read "Crime and Punishment" commenting on Thompson. Carlotto depicts a provocative and enlighting scenario of the post-70s european generation (non-UK, especially French, Italian, Spanish and German), of the 80s need of conformism and modern hypocrisy. The noir plot is, as in best writers (as Durenmatt), an excuse for bringing into light dark places of our societies.
