Críticas
""Paradise Sky" is a rowdy, funny, suspenseful, and often quite moving yarn." "Booklist (starred)""
PRAISE FOR JOE LANSDALE:
"Reading Joe Lansdale is like listening to a favorite uncle who just happens to be a fabulous storyteller." "Dean Koontz
""
"Too often overlooked in American literature is that lineage descending from our early humorists such as Bierce, and from Twain: regional, darkly comic, bizarre. That's where Joe Lansdale lives. He's very Texan, very American, very funny--and a stone brilliant writer." James Sallis, "author of "Drive"
""
"Classic Lansdale, his own self peppered throughout by much piney backwoods philosophizing on everything from religion to whoring, [with] the author's long-ago trademarked heaping helping of wry, often delightfully vulgar humanism." ""Austin Chronicle"""
"This fast-paced Western with its multicultural cast of characters is a winner." "Library Journal (starred)""
"How did Deadwood Dick get his name? Readers can learn this, and a whole lot more, in this picaresque Western from a master of the form..."Paradise Sky "goes down smooth and easy as a vintage sarsaparilla." ""Kirkus"""
"Folksy, cinematic . . . Lansdale fills his pages with true-hearted heroes, dastardly scoundrels, and rollicking adventures." "Publishers Weekly (starred)""
"[A] breakout novel . . . Addictive fun . . . A rollicking ride that's suspenseful, hilarious and satisfyingly redemptive. . . . Lansdale at his funniest and most energetic, with some of the most engaging writing you'll read this year. . . . Lansdale has unleashed something remarkable." Dwight Silverman, "Houston Chronicle""
"Joe R. Lansdale takes on Nat Love and the legend of Deadwood Dick in his new novel, "Paradise Sky, " and hosannas should be sung to him for doing so. Paradise Sky is a remarkable achievement, an instant classic of Western lit. . . . It sometimes seems as if [Lansdale] has published around a thousand novels, and he, no doubt, will publish many more. "Paradise Sky" may well prove to be Lansdale's best." W.K. Stratton, "Dallas Morning News""
"Beautiful literary prose . . . He fills each page with heartbreak, suspense, hope, and laughter." Eric J. Guignard, "New York Journal of Books""
Reseña del editor
A "Library Journal" Best Book of 2015!
A rollicking novel about Nat Love, an African-American cowboy with a famous nickname: Deadwood Dick.
Young Willie is on the run, having fled his small Texas farm when an infamous local landowner murdered his father. A man named Loving takes him in and trains him in the fine arts of shooting, riding, reading, and gardening. When Loving dies, Willie re-christens himself Nat Love in tribute to his mentor, and heads west.
In Deadwood, South Dakota Territory, Nat becomes a Buffalo Soldier and is befriended by Wild Bill Hickok. After winning a famous shooting match, Nat's peerless marksmanship and charm earn him the nickname Deadwood Dick, as well as a beautiful woman. But the hellhounds are still on his trail, and they brutally attack Nat Love's love. Pursuing the men who have driven his wife mad, Nat heads south for a final, deadly showdown against those who would strip him of his home, his love, his freedom, and his life.
