Reseña del libro "Late Winter (en Inglés)"
"Michael P. Charlton's novel Late Winter is so gritty that he could eat Charles Bukowski for breakfast. It is raw, it is real and it is utterly decadent. Not for the faint of heart. I highly recommend it."- JOHN DAVID EBERT, CULTURAL CRITIC"Late Winter is an unusually strong literary debut; an artistic statement that has the reader turning the page as his characters plummet ever deeper into hell. Michael P. Charlton has a skill for writing rich dialogue, likeable characters and memorable conflicts, the relationships enriched by violence and tenderness."- JAMES ANDERS BANKS, BOOKER PRIZE LISTED AWARD-WINNING NOVELIST "Charlton has crafted a novel that smacks of originality. Charlton's prose is shockingly raw, delivered throughout in choppy bites. The novel has a decidedly tongue-in-cheek feel and the prose is designed to reflect the depravity, listlessness, and self-loathing of the characters."- BOOKLIFE PRIZE "Charlton commits to it all being a highly inventive ordeal, a soiling, not-for-the-squamish spree abounding in gore, filth, viciously off-kilter monologues, and bizarre sexual escapades. The result may pleasingly jolt readers who favour poetic squalor." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "The exploration of a society's moral decay, intertwined with the characters' descent into darkness, creates a haunting and thought-provoking read. One of the strengths of Charlton's work lies in his ability to create a cast of deeply flawed characters, each grappling with their unique set of issues."- DISCOVERY REVIEW Late Winter will grab you by the throat and drag you into the totalitarian darkness.
