keithmac 's review for:
The Ballad of Low Lifes
by Enrico Remmert
I picked this book up at the library in about 2003-2004 when I was unemployed and looking for something to read to pass the time. As a big fan of subculture fiction and shoddy underground crime stories, this book really appealed to me. You can tell it wasn't written by a guy from Canada or the United States just in the sheer style of writing - it's uplifting, poetic and quite funny to read. The energy and attitudes of the lowlife characters in the book are infectious.
I even emailed Remmert himself to thank him for this fantastic book. And to my great pleasure, he responded and was happy to receive my compliments. I hope to find more from him - the challenge is, his fiction is in Italian, and English translations are hard to come by.
But all in all, I really enjoyed this one.
