It's time to find something more uplifting. Maybe some Cormac McCarthy.

El mundo de David Peace es realmente terrible, en él no parece haber futuro ni escapatoria, y los escasos gestos nobles que ahí pueden aflorar son de hombres destinados a la soledad y a la desgracia. Con una brillante y sórdida exposición de los hechos, Peace nos traslada adelante y atrás en el tiempo, entre 1983 y los acontecimientos narrados en 1974, 1977 y 1980, y nos ofrece las respuestas a los interrogantes de estas novelas en una trama envuelta en un clima de desasosiego y soledad. Monólogos interiores, escritura entrecortada y diálogos sombríos reproducen los crímenes del Destripador de Yorkshire en un paisaje atormentado y sin futuro. Much improved on the last two volumes, probably helped by there being three different POV characters so the over-used poetic prose devices are varied and spread out a bit. Another one without a sympathetic protagonist (the one I thought likely to be redeemed wasn't in the end) and extremely different to the finale of the TV adaptations in a variety of key ways. The TV version is sanitised I guess but in addition to leaving out the nastier aspects of the POV characters it changes the plot; people who die in the book live in the TV version but I'll say no more than that. I'll put the same review on all four of them: Nineteen Seventy-Four Nineteen Seventy-Seven Nineteen Eighty Nineteen Eighty Three I read them as a challenge - based on camaraderie with coworkers. Once I started the series, didn't especially want to wimp out, and then was compelled to read thru to the last book to see if I could possibly figure out what the "ending" was. I'm not faulting the author - it was a unique and compelling writing style and twisted plot with characters jumping back and forth between books. I did it. I read them all. I think they got weirder and more difficult as they went along, but if you're looking for some intense, darkly challenging books - have at it.

Nineteen Eighty Three's three intertwining storylines see the Quartet's central themes of corruption and the perversion of justice come to a head as BJ, the rent boy from Nineteen Seventy Four, the lawyer Big John Piggott, who's as near as you get to a hero in Peace's world, and Maurice Oldfield, the senior cop whose career of corruption and brutality has set all this in motion, find themselves on a collision course that can only end in a terrible vengeance. Nineteen Eighty Three is an epic tale which concludes a body of work confirming Peace as the most innovative and remarkable new British crime writer to have emerged for years.
