Il volume propone cinque racconti di George Egerton (pseudonimo di Mary Chavelita Dunne) tratti dalle raccolte Keynotes e Discords, pubblicate rispettivamente nel 1893 e nel 1894. Fra le esponenti della cosiddetta new woman fiction, Egerton fu interprete originale dello spirito dei febbrili anni Novanta e contribuì in maniera decisiva a rinnovare il genere della narrativa breve. Per l'anticonvenzionalità dei temi e delle scelte stilistiche le sue short stories, prive di intreccio e orientate alla resa di un singolo \"momento psicologico\" in virtù del tratto squisitamente impressionistico della scrittura, rappresentano un importante momento di transizione verso la sperimentazione modernista.

Dimenticate l'hard-boiled, dimenticate il noir, dimenticate tutto ciò che pensate di sapere su questo genere. Con un sogghigno sdegnoso \"The Rapist\" si libera di ogni elemento canonico e presenta qualcosa che aspira a essere molto di più di ciò che un singolo genere può offrire. Una controllata testimonianza di misantropia e delusione che rievoca il Dostoevskij di \"Memorie dal sottosuolo\". Ma mentre il protagonista dell'opera del grande autore russo si alimenta di rabbia, quello di Edgerton si nutre di un orribile narcisismo e di una natura inumana e bestiale che fa capolino come uno stalker attraverso il suo linguaggio eloquente e le sue idee grandiose. In questo romanzo basato non tanto sulla trama quanto sulla narrazione, Edgerton ci guida nella mente di Truman Pinter e ci lascia lì, da soli, a badare a noi stessi e ritrovare la strada che ci porterà fuori dalle tenebre. Quanto di quello che dice Truman possiamo liquidare come i deliri di una mente malata? E quante volte invece dobbiamo fermarci ad ascoltare, a caccia di un barlume di verità?

Da tempo l’ex detenuto Jake Bishop si è lasciato alle spalle la sua ultima condanna e gli anni di galera. Ora è sposato, aspetta un bambino e sta per aprire un salone di bellezza. Una vita tranquilla è ciò che desidera più di ogni cosa e ha fatto di tutto per arrivarci. Poi un giorno un vecchio compagno di cella, Walker Joy, si presenta da lui per chiedergli un favore: ha bisogno della sua mano esperta per un furto con scasso perché lui è ancora il migliore su piazza, e poi, promette Walker, «sarà una passeggiata». Jake intravede subito i rischi di questa richiesta eppure si ritrova costretto ad accettare, per via di un vecchio debito di riconoscenza – Walker gli ha salvato la vita anni prima in prigione – e di un ricatto da parte del nuovo socio di Walker. Se non vuole perdere tutto, deve rischiare e sperare di uscirne vivo… Les Edgerton ha conosciuto in prima persona ciò che racconta – l’ambiente criminale prima e poi il riformatorio Pendleton in Indiana, che il Presidente Lyndon Johnson definì la prigione peggiore degli USA – ma ha saputo trasfigurare le sue esperienze in letteratura, costruendosi una solida reputazione come scrittore di romanzi in cui la parola “noir” non è solo un’etichetta ma una vera condizione dell’esistenza. Prefazione di Anthony Neil Smith.
