Here we are at the first adventure protagonists Hap Collins and Leonard Pine, two rickety friends that we met in "Mucho Mojo". In fact, "A wild season is the first of the novels that Joe R. Lansdale wrote to them as protagonists, and is placed immediately in front of "Mucho Mojo", so that the latter could be read several references to their first adventure, which certainly is one of those stories that leave a mark. Why recommend it to anyone wishing to read for the first time something like this author, begins with this novel, which certainly represents the ideal starting point to learn about our (Anti) heroes. As I said last time, Hap and Leonard could not be more different at first glance, but actually share many aspects of their lives, which brought them together to the point that it would be simplistic to consider them just friends. In their lives on the edge all the well-being but without falling into despair, but the law without falling into delinquency, and so on, get something that always was and always will be able to lose your bearings: a crash of a woman. Trudy is the former wife of Hap, a human who falls in love easily, but he tired so easily, and who knows how to persuade a boy to do what he wants. All except Leonard, of course, that as a homosexual knows how to be immune to feminine charms, and this reeks of manipulation from a mile away when Trudy, after having been away for years and marrying another, look mysteriously returns to Hap. And the smell becomes even stronger when she enlists the help of Hap promising easy money easy. Quite a few 'easy money easy. And although Hap knows what Trudy knows how to be manipulative, the idea of \u200b\u200bputting up a little 'grain for himself and Leonard does not mind at all. But things are obviously intended to get complicated. Come, let him find out who wants to read the novel.
A novel that, beyond the history of action and constant plot twists, has the great advantage to let us know the characters really live and multi-faceted. Beautiful is in this sense, the picture that comes out of the friendship between Hap and Leonard are ready to tease and insult each other at the first opportunity, but also capable of a loyalty and a spirit of sacrifice for one another of 'more than anyone would envy. Equally beautiful the different generational experience, with Leonard and Hap in Vietnam veteran who became eighteen months in prison for refusing military service. So we have a split in the history of America from the Sixties, with all its contradictions and its ideals and pseudo such. And we have a little ' sex, some beer, bullets, fights and a nice booty at the bottom of a river. If this is not a special offer, you tell me!
God, how beautiful Trudy. Young to be frightening, a prototype of Eve. She had long wavy blond hair down to her waist and eyes so green and bright as to seem supernatural. He wore shiny silver pendants. He was wearing a white blouse knotted, a jeans miniskirt and wooden clogs. Under the blouse you saw the flat belly and a beautiful tanned navel, short skirt and legs sticking out like the ones that God gave to his wife.
