Buck doesn’t care if I come to his games.” ” She trails off and gestures below the table. “Don’t be so crass!

(SPOILER ALERT) Strangely enough, the locals respond to him with awe and protect him. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this case it is Christy Mahon, a young and seemingly foolish fellow who is fleeing his home after killing his father. In this, the playwright returns to the theme of a tramp turning up in a remote area and getting mixed up with the locals. The real masterpiece here is "The Playboy of the Western World", and this play deserves a 5 star rating. The sea seems to stand in for the inescapable fate that awaits us all. The second piece is considerably darker, and focuses on a rural family whose sons keep drowning in various mishaps. The first one is pretty funny, and concerns a tramp who turns up at a rural home as the man of the house is about to be buried - only it turns out he has not died yet, but is only faking it. "In the Shadow of the Glen" and "Riders to the Sea" are one act plays.

6/6/2023 0 Comments Drug of Choice by John Lange![]() ![]() ![]() Roger Clark, who works in the emergency ward at LA Memorial Hospital. His skill with quickly setting scenes and introducing characters is pretty incredible, and you see how he used the Lange years to hone his writing style. Crichton’s writing is so economical that you barely notice it the closest comparison I could think of would be Richard Stark. This short novel, barely 200 pages, takes place right in the psychedelic late ‘60s, roping in everything from rock groups to mind control. But man, if all Crichton books were like this, I’d be a big fan. I think this is the first Crichton novel I’ve read, and I really enjoyed it – however word seems to be that the “Lange” books are more pulpy than those bearing Chrichton’s name, and also that this particular novel, Drug Of Choice, is even different than the rest. John Lange was a pseudonym Michael Crichton used between 19, for a total of eight novels, most of them paperback originals. ![]() |
