American Skin - Tapa blanda

Ken Bruen s artfully violent and distinctly human voice is in full effect with American Skin. There are few crime novelists today who write with such passion and bravado. --George Pelecanos

A dark, hilarious nightmare of a book that stretches genres and concepts... This is a significant work loaded with memorable characters, electrifying incidents and walking nightmares. Very highly recommended. --Bookreporter.com

Irish author Bruen tells a story that's exquisitely circuitous. All the brooding characters wind up in Tucson. It's here that the mayhem reaches its climax but with plenty of guarantees it won't end there. In Skin, evil always has the upper hand. --USA Today

Comparable to William Burroughs' Naked Lunch, Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers and Norman Mailer's Why Are We in Vietnam, Ken Bruen's American Skin is a unique take on the American dream from a master of noir. Ken Bruen has been a finalist for the Edgar, Anthony and Barry Awards.
