Death Dance
Cumberland House Publishing
, 2002
A bittersweet treasure
Stories of morbid irony. Trevanian began assembling these from far-flung old friends when he became acutely aware he was dying himself. That most ridiculous, conspicuously innocent human activity dancing is the theme of these stories by friends of Rodney Whitaker, ...
Shibumi: A Novel
Trevanian
Three Rivers Press
, 2005
Shibumi
This is an amazing book. I read it years ago and lost my copy. When I saw it on Amazon, I had to order it. When it arrived I sat right down and rememberred why I liked this book so much. The story is exceptional, the history lesson, even in a fictional setting is ...
Incident at Twenty-Mile
Trevanian
St. Martin's Paperbacks
, 1999
Excellent!
I am not one for westerns, but Mr. Trevanian has outdone himself with this one! It grabs you from the beginning with a Hanibal Lecteresque character escaping from jail. You keep waiting for him to arrive at Twenty Mile. Meanwhile in Twenty Mile we are introduced to ...
Four Complete Novels (The Eiger Sanction/ The Loo Sanction/ The Main/ Shibumi)
Trevanian
Avenel
, 1981
A "must" read.
There are certain artefacts that draw one in life - there are certain records/albums/cd's one might feel - without which a collection is incomplete. As with books, a dictionary, Shakespeare, Roget's Thesaurus and Trevanian's books are on my shelf. I only wish RW and ...
The Eiger Sanction: A Novel
Trevanian
Three Rivers Press
, 2005
Good entertaining movie, but even greater novel...
I liked the movie, I saw a library copy, the night before I made this review, but reading a used hardcover that I bought of the original Trevanian novel, it was a lot of fun. Especially remembering the fun plot twists and tight control of textural dynamics by the ...
The Main: A Novel
Trevanian
Three Rivers Press
, 2005
Mature antihero
I liked Trevanian's earlier works like Eiger Sanction, but their heroes tended to be a little too perfect, a little too James Bondian (Bond books, not movies!) The Main features a much more interesting hero, an old French-Canadian cop who has failed in many ways and is ...
The Summer of Katya: A Novel
Trevanian
Three Rivers Press
, 2005
serendipity
I came across The Summer of Katya by accident, and am happy to have discovered both the author and the novel. This is a witty, often amusing little story, with dialog that you can practically hear and a mystery that remains a tantalizing, just-out-of-reach secret until ...
The Loo Sanction: A Novel
Trevanian
Three Rivers Press
, 2005
All Trevanian books rock!
I really enjoyed reading this book. The previous book "The Eiger sanction" was also really good. Good suspense, well written, and amazing charachters. The dialogue and tactics each of the charachters use in these books are what sold me on them. You will definately ...
The Crazyladies of Pearl Street: A Novel
Trevanian
Crown
, 2005
Nostalgic
I must admit that this story brought back my childhood in the South Bronx. The accuracy of life during the depression could only have been described from personal experience, and I wanted to write to Trevanian to tell him how much I enjoyed his autobiography, for it ...
Hot Night in the City
Trevanian
St. Martin's Paperbacks
, 2001
A stretch for Trevanian!
Then again, after the oater "Incident at Twenty-Mile" (who ever thought Trevanian would write a Western?) I shouldn't be surprised that Trevanian wants to flex some chops. Many of the favorite Basque characters appear again in this collection of short stories ...
El Verano De Katya/the Summer of Katya
Trevanian
Plaza & Janes Editories Sa
, 1983
A Timeless Book
I've read this book several times, and it's impact has yet to fade. It's the story of a young doctor fresh to the world and the woman he meets (Katya) who has something of a convoluted past involving her Father, and more poignantly her brother -- with whom she ...
