  • A gruesome Murder in Chicago

    Positieve punten

    • projectontwikkelaar gruwelijke moord contactadve

    Parker Jagoda is a clever real estate developer in Chicago, stripping and scooping out the brick shells of large buildings, filling them up with shops and apartments. His wife is a former model and he is the father of baby Eddie, six months old. He lives in Evanston, a posh suburb, drives a BMW and is in great shape, having dieted on bran, nuts, fruit and yogurt for the past seven years.
    Jagoda is early on in the book shown to be suffering from what looks like a breakdown, an unravelling of his personality. He misreads his own thoughts and what other people might think of him. He has mood swings and bouts of amnesia. A woman who responded to one of his secret Personal Ads is found murdered. No clues. The papers call it a perfect crime. The killer is called The Wolf Man...
    Paul Theroux(PT) is an excellent craftsman rather than a divinely-inspired novelist hoping for immortal fame. He wrote this tale of madness from Jagoda’s perspective, but gradually allowed his hero’s very few close associates more speaking time and opportunities to act...
    Jagoda is surely not a person to elicit sympathy or empathy on the part of the reader. Rather, it is Ewa, another girl who responded to one of his Personal Ads, who keeps up the reader’s hope that something good will happen in this novel. Surely, PT or Jagoda will not kill her as well?
    In this novel PT has brought together a number of themes explored in other books. Leading a double life is one. Protagonists practising and aggressively disseminating vegan diets based on no alcohol, no meat, no fat, no salt, no white sugar, etc. occur in at least four of his books (and all four practitioners turn out to be rather crazy) is another.
    Too much of the novel’s action is projected inside the disturbed mind of Jagoda and readers are really challenged to read on or give up. Not his best.
