Summary
Barry Gifford: A Story from Sinaloa
The author of this book is one of the most famous American authors of the 90s, a former rock musician and the author of the novels "Wild at Heart" and "Perdita Durango", based on which well-known movie hits were made. This "filmic" nature of Gifford's prose is also noticeable in this work, since the scenes alternate in a fierce rhythm (almost like a video clip), seasoned with the juicy off-milieu of crime, drugs, prostitution, and sexual perversions. Somewhat bizarre characters, marginals on the edge of the law and others with extremely strange fates "parade" within such a scenography. This, first of all, refers to Ava Varaza and her lover DelRay Mud, the bodyguard of the famous pimp India Desacat, called Grateful Pop, then 17-year-old Kobra Box, the retarded Cair Muha and many other people from the obscure half-world of the town of Sinaloa.
