Johnny Shaw Boeken
Johnny Shaw creëert verhalen die diep geworteld zijn in de levendige en vaak grimmige sfeer van de grens tussen Calexico en Mexicali, een setting die zijn verhalen vertellen diepgaand vormgeeft. Zijn schrijven duikt in de complexiteit van het leven op deze grens, en verkent thema's als identiteit, overleven en de vage lijnen tussen goed en kwaad met een uitgesproken, compromisloze stem. Shaw's fictie wordt gekenmerkt door zijn rauwe energie en een krachtige mix van literaire diepgang en pulpachtige opwinding. Zijn achtergrond in scenarioschrijven beïnvloedt verder zijn vermogen om strakke, meeslepende plots en gedenkwaardige personages te construeren die resoneren bij lezers.

Jack Veeder is dying. Soon. And that impending event brings his son Jimmy back to the Imperial Valley of southern California just north of the Calexico/Mexicali border. Jimmy hopes he can spend what time his father has left laughing and reminiscing. But Jack's got one dying request. He needs Jimmy to find a Mexican prostitute named Yolanda. Enlisting the help of his boyhood friend Bobby Maves, the pair stumbles through the violent, the exploited, and the corrupted of Mexicali. It doesn't take long before they're in over their heads. And as Jimmy tries to survive the dangers of the Mexicali underworld, he unwittingly uncovers truths about his father he never imagined, forcing Jimmy to come to terms with the man he thought he knew, and to decide just what sort of man he wants to become. " Johnny Shaw] is excellent at creating a sense of place with a few deft strokes... he moves effortlessly between dark comedy and moments that pack a real emotional punch, and he's got a knack for off-kilter characters who are completely at home in their own personal corners of oddballdom." - Tana French, author of In the Woods, Faithful Place
