Good. Gritty, violent, thoughtful. The colors of Marseille are vibrant, and even if the characters were a little stodgily crafted, I knew them by the end, and they were real to me. He describes with vividness the relationship between the sexes and the sea.
Again... Jean Claude Izzo is amazing... each time I read one of his books I am emotionally moved in ways that I had no expectation. Regionalism, character, storytelling... good shit that.
