cubro 's review for:
The Two-Bear Mambo
by Joe R. Lansdale
Super quick read. I gave it 4 stars mostly based on the dialog, of which there is plenty. Hilarious, profane and worse except that ultimately it’s also endearing and in some ways deep. The story is a trifle. Just vehicle for their misadventures. The portrayal of racism is stark, horrifying and unrelenting, permeating every page of the book. In some ways it seems a little over the top and in other ways I know that reality can be even worse. It’s not easy balancing the truly clever and omnipresent humor with the weight of these real and horrible truths. I found it very diverting in the terrible times of the COVID crisis.
