The Motel Life: A Novel | Willy Vlautin

Here is another audiobook from the haze that was February. It‘s a gritty tale of two brothers who have been surviving on their own since their teens. Everything gets turned upside down early one morning when one of them has an accident. The book walks a fine line by making the reader empathize with everything the main characters have been through while not hiding how absolutely stupid and horrible some of their decisions are.

What a cool book! It is, in essence, three separate stories about a deputy sheriff in small town New Mexico, named ‘Ogden‘. He‘s an interesting character, understated and sarcastic. Yet, the reader is left with some very complicated feelings about Ogden by the end. As always, it‘s difficult to feel one way when reading an Everett.

Pedrocamacho @BarbaraBB I think so. It‘s also set in the west and is much more comedic 😊 1w

This author is very funny and he uses language in a very resourceful way in order to accomplish that. This is the second in the Noir series. There are dragons, inappropriate jokes, and a spaceman. What else could you possibly need?

This month the Crime Novel Week took place in Barcelona and the second edition of the book tagged was presented. It brings together a selection of gastronomic texts from other books and recipes for the dishes mentioned in them. Sounds delicious, isn't it!
