E kamaʻilio e pili ana i kēlā mau mea kākau nui a me nā mea mua o ka papa ʻeleʻele pau ʻole o kēia manawa e like me lākou ʻO Dashiell hammett, James M. Kaina o ʻO Raymond Chandler a obviate ʻO Jim Thompson, ʻaʻole ia he loaʻa. Ma ka liʻiliʻi ua noho kēia ʻehā i nā ʻaoʻao hanohano o kēia ʻano a hiki i ka hopena o 50 a me 60.
No laila, i kēia lā wau e lawe mai i ʻaneʻi i ka hā (a ma kahi pae like) kākau nui o ka ʻano ʻimi keʻokeʻo "hina", ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻomaka e hoʻokumu i nā kumu o ka puke ʻeleʻele i loko o kāna mau hiʻohiʻona uninhibited o kēia manawa e kuhikuhi ana i ka hana ʻino a me ke aloha ma ke ʻano he ʻalohi mai ka ʻino i hoʻoili ʻia i ka moʻolelo fiction.
ʻO kā Jim Thompson hihia ka mea kākau pono, hoihoi mai kāna mau moʻolelo mua e nā hanana a me ka honua lalo. Mai kona wā kamaliʻi, ua ʻike ʻo Jim liʻiliʻi i nā kūlana waiwai a me nā lalo o ke kūpuna mai kahi makuakāne e makemake like i ka politika a me ke kālā maʻalahi, ʻoiai ʻo Sheriff.
No laila ʻaʻole ʻo Jim kahi keiki aʻo i ke aʻo. Eia naʻe, ʻo kona makemake i ka heluhelu a me kāna mākau kākau i hōʻike koke ʻia e kōkua iā ia e loaʻa nā hana mua ma ka nūpepa i ka manawa like i paʻi ai i kekahi mau moʻolelo a me nā mākaʻi.
I kona wā ʻōpio a i ke kanaha ona makahiki, ua hui pū ʻo Jim Thompson i nā hana like ʻole o kēlā me kēia ʻano ʻoiai ke nānā nei i ka waiʻona a me kekahi mau hana ma ka mākeke ʻeleʻele o ka waiʻona i hopena iā ia ma mua o hoʻokahi pilikia.
Me kāna wahine a me kāna mau keiki ʻekolu, a hiki i ke 40, hele ʻo Jim i New York kahi i kākau ai i kāna puke mua, ma mua o nā moʻolelo he nui i loaʻa iā ia kahi kālā kōkua.
ʻO kāna hoʻolaʻa nui loa i ka novelism ʻaʻole ia i waiho i kāna mau pilikia me ka wai ʻona a me kekahi mau hanana hakakā a me ka politika a ma muli o ka pōpilikia ʻohana me ka pepehi kanaka o kona makuakāne.
Me kēia ukana waiwai nui, hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia i nā puke i hele mai mai ia manawa ke kū i waho no kēlā halo o kahi puke moʻolelo hewa make, o nā underworlds me ka lanakila, ola, inaina a me ka palaho. ʻO kahi kiʻi kūwaho kūwaho i hoʻonui ʻia i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao kaiaulu, me nā pilina maʻamau e hoʻopili i ka mana me ka honua i lalo, kahi o ke ola wale nō ke kālā a ʻo ke kālā wale nō ka manaʻo nui a me ka mana.
Maliʻa paha e hoʻonā ʻia kekahi mau hihia, akā waiho ka ʻōlelo hoʻoholo ma nā puke moʻolelo a Jim Thompson i kahi ʻono ʻawaʻawa, e like me ka hoʻoponopono kaulike a hoʻopaʻi wale paha ma ke ʻano he ʻōnaehana kūpono wale nō.
ʻO 3 ʻo Jim Thompson Novels i manaʻo nui ʻia
1280 mau ʻuhane
Nui kēia puke i kēlā manaʻo o nā ākea ākea, o nā wahi mālie, e like me ka chicha mālie e hoʻonui i ka ʻino e kono ana iā ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka heluhelu ʻana. Ke ʻano o ʻO Nick Corey, ka Makai Nui o Potts County hoʻolōʻihi i kēlā manaʻo mua o ka mālie.
Aia a hoʻomaka mākou e ʻike pehea e noho ai nā mīkini ʻano i ke kānāwai i mua o ka poʻe 1.280 o ke kūlanakauhale. Manaʻo ʻo Nick hiki iā ia ke hoʻomau i ka mālama ʻana i ke kauoha kūpono a ʻo nā mea keakea a pau e lilo i mea paʻakikī. A hiki i ka hoʻoholo ʻana o Nick e lawe i nā mea i loko o kona lima iho a hana malū e hoʻomau iā ia iho i kāna hana.
Ke hiki mai i ke koho ʻana i ka Makai Nui, ʻike ʻo Nick Corey e hana wale ʻo ia me kahi kipi hiki ke hilinaʻi hou nā mea āpau iā ia. ʻO ke kiʻi contradictory o ka Sheriff e kuhikuhi nei i kahi ʻano hoʻohālikelike o ka makua kāne ponoʻī o ka mea kākau.
A ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kēia ʻano autobiograpical he stark, disenchanted, nihilistic point e pau ana i ka unuhi ʻia i loko o kahi puke moʻolelo hewa nui.
ʻO ka mea pepehi i loko oʻu
Inā makemake ʻoe i nā ʻuhane 1280, ʻo kēia puke i kākau ʻia i mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia i nā ʻano like. He puke hou paha ia i kahi ʻāpana mahalo i kona makuakāne, ka Makai Nui me ka lima kaumaha no kāna kānāwai a me ka lima palupalu no nā subterfuge kū kānāwai āpau e loaʻa i kāna pono ponoʻī. Ua huakaʻi mākou i Central City, Texas.
ʻO ka mea nāna e mālama i ke kānāwai ʻo Lou Ford, he ilāmuku kahiko me he mea lā, i hoʻopiʻi ʻia me ka hoʻokō ʻana i kona ʻano hanohano no ke kumu hope loa o ke kānāwai. Noho wale ʻo Lou Ford me kāna lawehala kahiko, kahi hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomake nāna i alakaʻi iā ia e pepehi i nā makahiki i hala.
Malia paha ua ʻeha ʻo Lou i kahi lapalapa, a i ʻole he psychopathy latency paha e makemake ana e komo hou i ka ʻike o Lou. Hiki ke mālama ʻia ka holoholona no kahi manawa, akā i ka hopena puka mau ia no nā mea hou aʻe.
Mai kona kūlana ma ke ʻano he lunamakaʻāinana o ke kānāwai, e loaʻa i kāna holoholona o loko nā kumu e noi ai i ka hoʻopono kaulike i nā poʻe hoalauna he nui ... A me he mea lā ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi mea ke keʻakeʻa iā ia.
Keiki huhū
ʻO ka moʻolelo hou i kākau ʻia e Jim Thompson kahi mea aloha i ka puka o mua. E nānā ... ʻaʻole wau makemake e ʻōlelo ʻo kāna kāna puke moʻolelo ʻoi loa ia, akā ʻo ka hana hoʻomāinoino, ka lawehala, ka hana hoʻomāinoino ʻole a me kēlā wahi o ka psychopathy traumatic ma ke ʻano he kumu o ka ʻino kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa e like me ka toast o ka huikau.
He keiki ʻeleʻele ʻo Allen i hānai ʻia e kahi wahine keʻokeʻo ʻaʻole i makemake e lilo i makuahine akā e ʻimi i kahi mea kōkua ʻole e ninini ai i kona inaina.
A ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo Allen, i kona wā i ola ai ma ke ʻano he makua ma lalo o ka mana o kona makuahine, lilo ʻo ia i monster me ka ʻole o nā kānana, ka mea hoʻomake hoʻomake hoʻomāinoino, ke kanaka me ka ʻole o ka lumi i kāna ʻuhane i uhi ʻole ʻia e kahi honua weliweli.
ʻO kahi moʻolelo paʻakikī e makemake ʻole ʻia akā hoʻohauʻoli loa i nā mea aloha nui o ke ʻano a me ka poʻe e hoihoi i kēia mea kākau.
