Book Review: Black Maria

[wiredferret]

by Kevin Young

This is a noir movie in verse, in a spare, mattress-ticking-and-iron-rail style. The language is both gritty and playful. You never forget that these characters are leading lives of being a little too cold, a little too poor, a little too drunk. Even the sex scenes occur in seedy motels and the rhapsodies are about forgetting.

I think that I would like this, I was also a bit surprised that my library has a copy so I requested it.
