Overview: This Library of America volume, with its companion devoted to the 1930s and 40s, presents a rich vein of modern American writing, works now being recognized for the powerful literary qualities and their unique, sometimes subversive role in shaping modern American language and culture.The five novels here are authentic underground classics:Published as a paperback original in 1952, Jim Thompson’s The Killer Inside Me, is one of the most blistering and uncompromising crime novels ever written. Written from the point of view of an outwardly genial, privately murderous Texas sheriff, it explores the inner hell of a psychotic in daring and experimental style.Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955) likewise adopts a killer’s perspective as she traces the European journey of an American con man with a taste for fine living and no conscience about how to attain it. Highsmith’s gift for diabolical plotting is matched only by the cool irony of her characterizations.In his nihilistic early novel Pick-Up (1955), Charles Willeford follows the pilgrimage of two lost and self-destructive lovers through the depths of San Francisco, from cheap bars and rooming houses to psychiatric clinics and police stations.David Goodis’s Down There (1956) is a moody, intensely lyrical novel of a musician fallen on hard times and caught up in his family’s criminal activities; it was adapted by François Truffaut into the film Shoot the Piano Player.With its gritty realism, unrestrained violence and frequently outrageous humor, The Real Cool Killers (1959) is among the most powerful of Chester Himes’s series of novels about the Harlem detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones.Each volume features newly researched biographies and notes, and an essay on textual selection.

A very strong entry. It held my rapt attention, even when certain twists were telegraphed. A very distinguished novel.

Such a rich narrative. I became deeply invested in the protagonist's journey. A masterclass in storytelling. Worth every moment spent reading.

Not entirely to my refined tastes. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.

A decent, if standard, experience. Certain acts were fascinating, while others felt like a slight endeavor to complete. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.

Masterpiece from start to finish. I became deeply invested in the protagonist's journey. A masterclass in storytelling. An effortless 5 stars.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. A solid 4 stars from me.

An acceptable diversion. Certain acts were fascinating, while others felt like a slight endeavor to complete. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
