Relation Toward Books Pop. 1280 (Crime Masterworks)

Nick Corey likes being the high sheriff of Potts County. But Nick has a few problems that he needs to deal with: like his loveless marriage, the pimps who torment him, the honest man who is running against him in the upcoming elections and the women who adore him. And it turns out that Nick isn't anything like as amiable, easy-going or as slow as he seems. He's as sly, brutal and corrupt as they come.

Assessment Epithetical Books Pop. 1280 (Crime Masterworks)
Absolutely terrible. I guess this is a satire. Sheriff Nick Corey is a redneck who is a killer and hangs around other sheriffs who call black people the n-word and none of them believe black people have souls or are people. Nick treats women like Kleenex and kills people or tricks people into killing each other - all in good fun, especially since he believes he was placed on Earth to lead folks to do their worst. Everybody on Goodreads loves this book, but it is one of the worst books I have

hee haw! a rambunctious, heartwarming delight! loveable and sweet-tempered Nick Corey, Sheriff of Potts County, has more problems than you can shake a stick at. poor guy! all he wants to do is kick back and hold on to his dippity-doo-da job not-arresting people. that's not too much to ask, is it? but things are always getting him down. pimps, bitches, and in-laws - the works! what's an amiable, peace-loving soul to do? well, happily, Nick's also a Medici-level manipulator, stone-cold killer, and

Pop. 1280 is a pitch black comedy rather than a noir. It is so rip-roaringly funny that it is easy to forget Thompson manages to roast everything from racism to religion. Nick Corey is the hick sheriff of Potts County, a no name town in American hinterlands with a population of 1280 in early twentieth century. (1280 is a debatable number as it includes nigger and they might not have souls. Keep your eyes peeled for that debate.) He pronounces sure as shore, before as a-fore and makes the wall

"I said I meant I was just doing my job, followin' the holy precepts laid down in the Bible. "It's what I'm supposed to do, you know, to punish the heck out of people for bein' people. To coax 'em into revealin' theirselves, an' then kick the crap out of 'em. And it's a god-danged hard job, Rose, honey, and I figure that if I can get a little pleasure in the process of trappin' folks I'm mighty well entitled to it." This excerpt from Thompson's novel sums up the sheriff who's a sociopathic

Potts County has a small population, so small that one law enforcement officer is enough to keep the peace around. Keeping the peace is something High Sheriff Nick Corey tries to avoid as much as he can, preferring instead to complain about how little time he has for sleeping and for eating. The town leaders don't seem unduly disturbed by his laisez-faire philosophy, and he usually gets re-elected on his libertarian platform. "I'll ask you just one question," Robert Lee cut in. "Are you or

Someone recommended this book to me years ago. More than five years ago, in fact. They gushed about it about it to such an extent that I went out and bought several of Thompson's books. Then they sat on my shelf for the next five years. I just read this one, and it was every bit as good as my friend implied. It's not my usual genre, almost a bit of a western (but not really). But it's told in first person with such an amazing voice that I really wish I hadn't waited so long. I'll be getting to
