Get this: I'm trying to pigeonhole Lansdale for the benefit of the uninformed, and all it's getting me is a cramp in my left hemisphere from all the free-association. Enough of that, already: Let's just call a spade a spade and agree that Joe Lansdale is the most consistently original and originally visceral writer the great state of Texas (or any other state, for that matter) has seen in a score of flashpoint summers. There. I'm off the soapbox. You can wash your hands now. Two new fall releases cement yet again Lansdale's fully developed place in the canon of genre fiction. Exactly what genre that may be is entirely up to the author's whims. Although branded early on with the now-defunct term "splatterpunk" (others from that stillborn movement included Ray Garton, John Skipp and Craig Spector, and Douglas E. Winter, most of whom, unlike Lansdale, have failed to maintain their initial popular velocity), Lansdale is as likely to pen a sci-fi tale or a magical young adult novel as he is an outright piece of horror fiction these days. His most popular works to date have been a series of novels featuring the occasionally hideous, often hilarious misadventures of a pair of East Texas working stiffs by the name of Hap Collins and Leonard Pine. What all this goes to show is that Lansdale, like the best writers of this century, cares more about the tale than the teller. He's all over the map, sure, but what a helluva map.

J oe Lansdale's books about the salt and pepper, straight and gay, liberal and conservative duo of Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are among the things that make America distinctively great. If I had only one hour to cram some foreign visitor full of the real poop about the USA, I'm not sure I wouldn't sit them down in front of the TV to watch a couple episodes of "Cops", with a Stroh's on the coffee table and this book to read during the commercials. This novel is as powerful, undeniable, and real as a sidekick to the solar plexus; it is altogether an astonishing accomplishment, and delivered without any of the phony attitude of the media-whore or the academic observer yet another proof, if one were needed, that New York is not the cradle of all that is cultural in the USA. Hap is pulled out of the rose fields where he toils as a field hand (and you'll never again be able to buy a rose bush without a qualm after the first page of the book) by his best friend Leonard Pine, whose uncle has just died. Uncle Chester leaves Leonard a bunch of coupons, a copy of

Autre critique Le mambo des deux ou rs On retrouve l'humour vaseux mais drôle des deux protagonistes de "l'arbre à bouteilles". Heureusement, parce que sinon c'est voyage au bout de l'horreur. Cette bourgade de ploucs texans ferait passer les tarés de Délivrance pour des êtres civilisés, et les pitbulls de Mégret et Le Pen pour de délicats démocrates. C'est effrayant, plongée au coeur d'un monde où visiblement la nouvelle de la fin de l'esclavage n'est pas arrivée. Lansdale rend superbement la panique de Hap et Leonard quand ils se rendent compte à quel point ils sont coupés du reste du monde, à quel point les lois, les règles, ne s'appliquent pas dans ce coin des US. A quel point deux individus, même très combatifs et courageux ne peuvent pas aller à l'encontre de toute une ville. Effrayant, superbe, indispensable. Autre critique , son Mambo des deux ours (SN2592), qui date un peu (octobre 2000) est vraiment le polar ricain tel que je l’aime. Cynique, noir et désopilant. On est à mi-chemin de Pelecanos pour la noirceur et de Hiaasen pour le délire. Ses deux personnages fétiches, Hap Collins, un Blanc bec revenu de tout, et Leonard Pine, un noir gay et pas commode, forment un tandem parfait, un genre d’Arme Fatale inverti et déjanté. L’atmosphère et lourde, moite et pesante mais c’est surtout l’humour, parfois volontiers scato, qui sauve tout et on se retrouve souvent à rire comme un idiot. Lansdale s’en donne à cœur joie dans les métaphores foireuses dont voici un exemple parmi beaucoup d’autres : " Le frigo ronflait désespérément comme un mourant essayant de se souvenir d’une chanson sentimentale ". Et, last but not least, la traduction de Bernard Blanc est impeccable.

    Brief aus dem Sueden, zwei Monde entfernt von Nacogdoches
      Lieber Hawk:
      Dein Brief, in dem Du mitteilst, Du koenntest nicht glauben, dass ich kein Baptist bin, obwohl unsere Grundsaetze so aehnlich seien, erstaunt mich. Wie kannst Du annehmen, nur Baptisten seien gute Menschen und fuehrten ein glueckliches Leben? Du solltest mich besser kennen, auch wenn der Grossteil unserer Konakte brieflich oder telefonisch stattfand.
      Nun, vielleicht sollte ich die Fage umkehren. Wie kannst Du Dich solch einem dummen Heidenglauben hingeben? Und wenn es schon eine Religion sein muss, warum schaust Du nicht zurueck in unsere Vergangenheit, statt eine hebraeische Mythologie zu uebernehmen?
      Und wie in aller Welt, kannst Du annehmen, ein Baptistendasein mache Dich gluecklicher als alles andere?
      Ich, fuer meinen Teil, bin zufrieden, danke! Nun ja, ich habe meine Hoehen und Tiefen, aber nach unseren Postkarten, Briefen und gelegentlichen Telefonaten zu urteilen, geht es Dir nicht anders. Geht es uns nicht allen so?
      Aber ich schweife ab, wie ueblich.

RECENZE: Joe. R. Lansdale - Bizarníma rukama

Juraj Maxon Nielen bizarnými rukami ale aj oèami        Tak je to tu! Predstavuje sa vám jeden z najlepších hororových spisovate¾ov: Joe R. Lansdale. Tento texasan patrí k najtvrdším predstavite¾om splatterpunku, aj keï on sám túto kategóriu odmieta. Je ¾ahké pochopi preèo. Pán Lansdale totiž je kategória sama o sebe. Jedna z najvyšších, najtvrdších, najkrutejších ale aj najvtipnejších. Jeho majstrovské poviedky èerpajú z obyèajného každodenného života plného rasizmu, pravièiarskych ideológií èi len zvyèajných psychopatických obsesií a iných „¾udských“ slabostí, z ktorých sa za urèitých okolností uvo¾òuje zverské násilie. A toho vám kniha poskytuje celý vagón. Èi je to už svojrázne oslavovanie Halloweenu (Bizarníma rukama) èi epilóg k jednej romantickej historke (Krvavý Valentín). Niekedy staèí by len v nesprávnom èase na nesprávnom mieste (Jáma, Balvan na bøehu moøe, Té noci, kdy nešli na horor).        Joe R. Lansdale nám odkrýva množstvo postáv a postavièiek, ktoré sice asi nikdy nedostanú Nobelovu cenu za mier, èi fyziku, zato sú plné živoèíšnej sily a myslenia. „Vraždenie? Hmm. Preèo tak dramaticky nazýva zaháòanie celodennej nudy?“

REVIEW
BY ALEX GRANT.
Burke can envision a luxuriant louche Louisiana more evocative and miasmic than the actual place.

The writing in CAPTAINS OUTRAGEOUS is as typical as in any Lansdale book – every scene run to its maximum length and every darned cliché of redneck ignoramuses richly invested with ‘local colour’ and cloaked - if not muffled - in ‘atmosphere’, which is entirely appropriate for any down-home "regional author" – James Lee Burke’s Louisiana and his Montana are no different, likewise Carl Hiaasen’s Florida, and James Crumley’s Big Sky Country in his ‘C.W.Sughrue - that’s ‘Chauncey Wayne Sughrue’ - P.I yarns. . These eccentric authors want you to feel the heat and rejoice in a full-blown ambience so thick you could cut it with a blunt butter-knife. Burke can envision a luxuriant louche Louisiana more evocative and miasmic than the actual place.
Once Lansdale, through his mapping of the scattered minds of his irksome duo of drop-out walking,talking disaster- areas Hap and Leonard - gets the story well underway there is no stopping his wild and woolly narrative, his rampant no-holds-barred vim and vigour.The series are often laugh-out-loud male-bonding unregenerate "b.s"./horse pucky that works beautifully as such.and as little more than pure foul-mouthed ‘adult’ entertainment without a single redeeming social value. CAPTAINS OUTRAGEOUS is no exception to the Law of Lansdale on the printed page. Lurid, preposterous and irresistible pure pulpery and poltroonery.
