John Berendt

    5 dicembre 1939

    John Berendt è celebrato per la sua narrazione immersiva, che trasporta i lettori in ambientazioni vivide con un occhio attento per l'insolito e l'intrigante. Il suo lavoro fonde magistralmente l'osservazione fattuale con la sensibilità di un romanziere, esplorando le vite nascoste e le eccentricità che si celano sotto la superficie dei luoghi quotidiani. Berendt crea narrazioni accattivanti e stimolanti, invitando i lettori a scoprire lo straordinario nell'ordinario. La sua voce distintiva rende il banale magico e il peculiare profondamente umano.

    • Genteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands' suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A morose inventor who owns a bottle of poison powerful enough to kill everyone in town. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a 'walking streak of sex'. These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eccentric mores are unerringly observed - and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired - in this utterly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely entertaining and deliciously perverse travelogue, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.
