Reviews
One of the darkest and best-loved names in all of noir. . . . Parker is truly frightening because he is so horribly familiar: callous, unable to feel guilt for his actions, completely lacking in empathy, and incapable of learning from his own bitter experience, he is a kind of degenerate Everyman, the pulp-fiction counterpart of Philip Roth's morally crippled and contaminated heroes. . . . The plot is classic Westlake deadpan rhapsody, a vision of endless roads and featureless towns, landscapes and people unravelling. . . . My guess is that Westlake won't be remembered for his good humour--who is? He may not be remembered as Donald Westlake at all. My guess is he'll be remembered for the deep blankness of Richard Stark., Stark will paste grins on the faces of readers who dared give the hardcase heist man up for caught., Read Ask the Parrot and find out why Stark is the kind of writer who, whatever else you're reading, you stop dead and read his latest., Fiercely distracting . . . . Westlake is an expert plotter; and while Parker is a blunt instrument of a human being depicted in rudimentary short grunts of sentences, his take on other characters reveals a writer of great humor and human understanding., Involving. . . . The closest Parker's come to an act of mercy in his entire bullet-ridden career. As for what happens to the parrot--don't ask. Our beak is sealed., Nobody does the noir thriller better than Stark. His lean style and hard-edged characters . . . provide a welcome return to the hard-bitten days of yore., Classic Stark, the grandmaster of crime fiction. . . . As lean, hungry, and tightly plotted as ever. . . . Superior entertainment.", Do you like your crime fiction pared to the bone, with never a wasted word? Are you addicted to narratives that move with bullet-speed velocity, in which every action is fraught with reined in menace? Then Stark is undoubtedly your man., Parker is one sniff ahead of the bloodhounds. . . . Stark, Westlake's more menacing alter ego, flaunts his usual wizardry as unobtrusively as if he were ordering from a fast-food menu. The plot is minimalist, the technique superb., Like a great white shark that leaves a trail of blood which excites smaller sharks, Parker inspires criminal behavior in the average citizens around him. . . . Parrot is well up to the usual Stark standard. Unusually for the series, it's often funny, laced with Stark's brutally morbid humor rather than Westlake's wry ironies. And as always, Westlake is a master of lean, hardboiled prose and fast-moving, tense scenes that drip with potential violence before, inevitably, exploding into actual violence.
Synopsis
Together at last. Under the pseudonym Richard Stark, Donald E. Westlake, one of the greats of crime fiction, wrote twenty-four fast-paced, hard-boiled novels featuring Parker, a shrewd career criminal with a talent for heists and a code all his own. With the publication of the last four Parker novels Westlake wrote- Breakout , Nobody Runs Forever , Ask the Parrot , and Dirty Money -the University of Chicago Press pulls the ultimate score: for the first time ever, the entire Parker series will be available from a single publisher. In Ask the Parrot , Parker's back on the run, dodging dogs, cops, and even a helicopter. Forced to work with a small-town recluse and a group of fools at a gun club in rural Massachusetts, Parker focuses on getting the cash and getting out. It'll be a deadly day at the races. Featuring new forewords by Chris Holm, Duane Swierczynski, and Laura Lippman-celebrated crime writers, all-these masterworks of noir are the capstone to an extraordinary literary run that will leave you craving more. Written over the course of fifty years, the Parker novels are pure artistry, adrenaline, and logic both brutal and brilliant. Join Parker on his jobs and read them all again or for the first time. But don't talk to the law., ASK THE PARROT opens where "Nobody Runs Forever" left off, with Parker dodging dogs, cops, and a helicopter. He's forced to work with a small-town recluse and some fools in a gun club, and only Parker's brains, cool, and speed keep him a step ahead of everyone pursuing him. While others get impatient and stupid, Parker stays focused on getting cash and getting out. This is the 23rd of Stark's 24 Parker novels, Lots of guns and cars, and a feeling of being trapped in rural Massachusetts. Duane Swwierczynski's brief and breezy foreword describes how he came to read and search for the Parker novels, and much they influenced him., An action-packed crime novel starring Parker, the heister starring in the forthcoming Shane Black film Play Dirty Richard Stark's Parker novels are the hardest of hard-boiled, classic crime novels where the heists are huge, the body counts are high, and the bad guys usually win. The Parker novels have been a huge influence on countless writers and filmmakers, including Quentin Tarantino, George Pelecanos, Colson Whitehead, Lucy Sante, and many more. Their stripped-down language and hard-as-nails amorality create an unforgettable world where the next score could be the big one, but your next mistake could also be your last. There's nothing else like them. In Ask the Parrot , Parker's back on the run, dodging dogs, cops, and even a helicopter. His escape brings him to rural Massachusetts, where he meets a small-town recluse who Forced to work with a small-town recluse nursing a grudge against the racetrack that fired him. Even on the run, Parker manages to get up to no good. It'll be a deadly day at the races., In Ask the Parrot , Parker's back on the run, dodging dogs, cops, and even a helicopter.
