About this listen

In a hard-boiled city of crooks, grifts and rackets lurk a pair of toughs: Box and _____. They're the kind of men capable of extracting apologies and reparations, of teaching you a chilling lesson. They seldom think twice, and ask very few questions.

Until one night over the poker table, they encounter a pulp writer with wild ideas and an unscrupulous private detective, leading them into what is either a classic mystery, a senseless maze of corpses, or an inextricable fever dream . . .

Drunk on cinematic and literary influence, Muscle is a slice of noir fiction in collapse, a ceaselessly imaginative story of violence, boredom and madness.

An odd book. The story swerves around from place to place, and I found it rather confusing. But the prose was wonderful, with some beautiful descriptions. The narration was wooden, and I was not sure why it was spoken in that fashion. I found it a bit offputting. An acquired taste perhaps?

Pulp fiction.... with a twist
