Rum Punch

Product Information

I recall someone saying how Elmore Leonard isn't old school `cause he built the school. Very true. My favorite Elmore Leonard novels are Tishomingo Blues and Pagan Babies; Rum Punch is my very favorite, thus this review. Also, in addition to reviewing the book, let me plug the audiobook read by Joe Mantegna. The voice of Joe Mantegna is pitch-perfect, his rhythm and inflections capturing each of the characters, male and female, as well as the mood and charged atmosphere of the entire story. Here is how the author describes bail bondsman Max Cherry, one of the main characters, through the eyes of Ordell, another main character: "The man himself appeared neat, cleanshaved, had his blue shirt open, no tie, good size shoulders on him. That dark, tough-looking type of guy like Lewis, dark hair, only Max Cherry was losing his on top. Up in his fifties somewhere. He could be Eyetalian, except Ordell had never met a bail bondsman wasn't Jewish." ----- That's it-short, crisp, a few telling details.

What I recognized in Tarantino’s first adaptationof a Leonard book, especially after multiple viewings, were the unspoken parallels between director and writer. It’s as if they were destined for this prefect duet of spotlighting the action and character development within dialogue, as opposed to trigger-happy action scenes and pointed exposition. Four years later, I watched Pulp Fiction (1994) for the first time and wondered if Tarantino and Leonard had long been buddies, because I saw so many similarities in the snappy dialogue and rounded portrayals of underworld baddies and the cop out to collar them. Jamaican rum punch is a fruity drink with a rum base. This tropical rum is popular among tourists and Jamaicans alike. E personaggi femminili fuori dalla convenzione, di solito i migliori, di solito sono i suoi personaggi più coraggiosi.Strain into a smaller cold glass half-full of ice, top with a grating of nutmeg and gaudy garnish to taste.

There's a man I want to show you. See who he reminds you of. He told me they're gonna march up South County and have their show on the steps of the fountain by city hall. You ever see so many police? Yeah, I expect you have. But not all these different uniforms at one time. They mean business too, got their helmets on, their riot ba-tons. Stay on the sidewalk or they liable to hit you over the head. They keeping the street safe for the Nazis."" ----- Right on, Elmore. No need for ornamentation here since Ordell's words speak for themselves. Add a bit of zing: Using spices is optional. It’s not traditionally used when making rum punch, but try it and see if you like it.

Rum Punch

Pesci piccoli, anche se sanguinari e spietati, soldati semplici della mafia, piccoli gangster del ghetto che se la tirano da padrini, trafficanti di armi o droga, gente ai margini dai giri grossi. Gente qualsiasi, ordinary people dell’underworld. La musica! Come l’intero film è un omaggio alla blaxploitation: su tutte, questa dal killer refrain: The characters Ordell Robbie, Louis Gara and Melanie Ralston first appeared in Leonard's novel The Switch, which itself has also been adapted as a film, Life of Crime, first shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, with Robbie played by Mos Def and Gara portrayed by John Hawkes. Robert Forster/Max Cherry con Quentin Tarantino. Forster veterano dello schermo, piccolo e grande, ha avuto qui la sua prima (e unica) grande occasione. Secondo me vinta in pieno.

Rum Punch - Wikipedia

Il titolo: nella nostra lingua evoca sensazioni sbagliate perché per noi il punch è più spesso bevanda calda, mentre il clima e l’atmosfera di questo romanzo richiedono abbondante ghiaccio. Tra l’altro, i personaggi del libro sembrano preferire la vodka, magari nella variante skrewdriver, più banalmente vodka orange (vodka con succo d’arancia).Syrup: I am using Grace strawberry, but you could also use cherry syrup. Use any syrup as long as it is a red fruit syrup. Si muovono ai margini della legge, da una parte o dall’altra di quel confine, e spesso sono tentati di attraversarlo. E, spesso lo fanno, lo attraversano: siano essi ufficiali giudiziari, garanti di cauzione come il Max Cherry di questo romanzo, rapinatori di serie B, strozzini. The oldest recipes seem to come in the form of easily memorisable rhymes – one quoted in the New York Times in 1908 calls for: “Two [measures] of sour, one and a half of sweet, three of strong and four of weak”, while Fun directs the reader to Now, the Feds know that Ordell’s a gun runner but just can’t catch him doing anything illegal. So they also set up a sting with the help of some of their nefarious friends. Hook - 2 stars: "Sunday morning, Ordell took Louis to watch the white-power demonstration in downtown Palm Beach." Yep, and you know this area well as you'll find Mira Lago there today. Yep, that opener is stupendous in timeliness. And the next lines, right out of today's headlines, "Young skinhead Nazis," Ordell said. "Look, even little Nazigirls marching down Worth Avenue. You believe it?" Now, those lines certainly grab your attention (and you either keep reading or you stop). The problem is, these lines have almost nothing to do with the rest of the entire book.
