Red Line

English

By (author): Charles Bowden

At its best, Red Line can read like an original synthesis of Peter Matthiessen and William Burroughs . . . a brave and interesting book.
David Rieff, Los Angeles Times Book Review

Charles Bowdens Red Line is a look at America through the window of the southwest. His vision is as nasty, peculiar, brutal, as it is intriguing and, perhaps, accurate. Bowden offers consciousness rather than consolation, but in order to do anything about our nightmares we must take a cold look and Red Line casts the coldest eye in recent memory.
Jim Harrison

One of Charles Bowdens earliest books, Red Line powerfully conveys a desert civilization careening over the edgeand decaying at its center. Bowdens quest for the literal and figurative truth behind the assassination of a murderous border-town drug dealer becomes a meditation on the glories of the desert landscape, the squalors of the society that threatens it, and the contradictions inherent in trying to save it.
