«De balas y bolas» is the crime novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Barth Jules Sussman, published by Editorial Júcar in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
The story moves along the border between detective fiction and the western, with a firm base in crime literature. Its dry, direct tone draws on the French polar and offers a disillusioned view of its characters and settings.
Number 113 of Júcar's Etiqueta Negra collection, published in Barcelona in 1989, measuring 20 x 13 cm.
For crime fiction readers who appreciate the blend of genres and the raw style of the French polar.
Jean-Patrick Manchette was a French crime novelist credited with reinventing and reinvigorating the genre. He wrote ten short novels in the seventies and early eighties, and is widely recognized as the foremost French crime fiction author of that period. His stories are violent explorations of the human condition and French society. Manchette was politically to the left and his writing reflects this through his analysis of social positions and culture.
