Items related to Nobody Move
Jimmy Luntz is an innocent man, more or less. He's just leaving a barbershop chorus contest in Bakersfield, California, thinking about placing a few bets at the track, when he gets picked up by a thug named Gambol and his life takes a calamitous turn. Turns out Jimmy owes Gambol's boss significant money, and Gambol's been known to do serious harm to his charges. Soon enough a gun comes out, and Jimmy's on the run. While in hiding he meets up with a vengeful, often-drunk bombshell named Anita, and the two of them go on the lam together, attracting every kind of trouble.
The latest from National Book Award-winning author Denis Johnson, Nobody Move "does exactly what noir should do--propel the reader downhill, with its cast of losers, louts and toughs as they cheat, shoot, and exploit one another into fast-talking oblivion" (Jess Walker, The Boston Globe).

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Denis Johnson is the author of six novels, three collections of poetry, and one book of reportage. His novel Tree of Smoke was the 2007 winner of the National Book Award. He lives in northern Idaho.
There's no shortage of tough guys and girls in Denis Johnson's NOBODY MOVE. There's also no real hero in the book, just bad guys and worse ones, all of them pretty interesting. Will Patton gives real character to all the players, especially the protagonist, a gambling-addicted singer in a barbershop choir named Johnny Lutz. The guy has no idea how much trouble he's in until the cold-blooded enforcer, Ernest Gambol, takes him for a one-way ride into the California countryside. Patton's Gambol is seriously sinister--you can almost hear creepy music in the background. Throw in a beautiful woman, $2.3 million, blood, guns, and revenge--and you've got a contemporary crime noir masterpiece. Patton and Johnson make it all seem brand new.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jimmy Luntz owes money to a man called Juarez. Trouble is, Juarez isn't the most patient of men. And when he gets bored of waiting, he sends someone round to collect. Luntz doesn't actually plan to shoot the guy, but the way he sees it, it's shoot or be shot. Either way, though, Luntz is out of his league, and he knows it: nobody messes with Juarez -- or, at least, nobody messes with Juarez and lives to tell the tale. Against all the odds, however, it seems that somebody up there is looking out for Luntz, if only he can keep his cool. A story of mistaken identity, blackmail and murder, of bent judges, wronged alcoholics and colostomy bags, Nobody Move is No Country for Old Men as written by Denis Johnson. Praise for Denis Johnson's previous novel, Tree of Smoke, which won the US National Book Award 2007: 'A Catch-22 for our times' Alan Warner, Observer 'A heart-stopping reminder of what fiction can do' Sunday Telegraph A fast and furious new novel from an award-winning author Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
