A review by emsemsems
Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto

3.0

'You’re born and forty years later you hobble out a bar, startled by your own aches. Nobody knows you. You steer down lightless highways, and you invent a destination because movement is key. So you head toward the last thing you have left to lose, with no real idea what you’re going to do with it.'

3.5 . Quick and easy read. But I feel like this would've been so much more glorious as a play/TV series (mini-series) . Picked this one up because I miss True Detective Season 1 (but simply wasn't ready to re-watch it yet). Didn't think that the ending was satisfying enough. Spectacular characterisation though . RTC .

'You’re here because it’s somewhere. Dogs pant in the streets. Beer won’t stay cold. The last new song you liked came out a long, long time ago, and the radio never plays it anymore.'
