Bøger af Jim Nisbet

Poetry, Jim Nisbet, seminal figure in West Coast Noir Renaissance, informed by classical tradition and immediate circumstances of worldwide pandemic, a poetic diary of uncommon artistic, historic, and metaphysical resonance.

Snitch World is made up of an odd grouping, from the seasoned, petty criminals to the mysterious nouveau femme fatale whose criminal tricks of the trade are born from the new economy. This world is a San Francisco of menacing technology, where the old cons come up too short, too slow and where the crimes of the night have made way for those committed from the glow of a screen. Jim Nisbet, with his characteristic humour and brilliant prose, creates a world where to trust is to possibly sacrifice all.

Ripped straight from the zeitgeist of the 1980s, Nisbet's novella is set in a sun-drenched San Francisco, where the computer becomes the protagonist's co-conspirator and both writer and machine begin to threaten the written word itself. The city provides a backdrop oozing with drugs, poets and danger. Nisbet has written a mad-cap meditation on the angst of a writer caught up in a world where the rent is due, new technology offers up illicit ways to produce the latest bestseller and the detective of one's latest novel might just turn up at the bar.
