I think I should understand why I cry
Matt, who was unable to speak properly in the end, is actually a gentle and delicate Matt.
The description is really detailed
As a private detective, the hero's reasoning ability is not bad. Although he found the murderer, what does the open ending express in the end? Crying about the depression of quitting drinking or crying about that woman
Read the whole book in three days
How should I put it? It took me three days to read it, so it was still somewhat readable for me. However, I didn't feel much after reading it. Is it because I didn't understand the artistic conception of the book? It just feels so ordinary
Check in, check in, check in, check in, check in, check in.
In such a long detective novel, solving the case is not the key
Promised Land Metropolis
The tone is gloomy and depressing. Dreams and who you want to be have nothing to do with the plot, but they are used throughout the whole story. The case is not complicated and difficult to solve, but without Matt's persistence and professionalism, it would not have ended so quickly. Redemption will never change the status quo, because the real problems and the past that have happened will not change, and you will even have to bear more. It takes a lot to persist in living, but salvation can make you persist. The promised land is only in the kingdom of death. As long as you can live for one day, you can look forward to tomorrow. Eight million ways to die may at first sound like teaching you how to die, but in fact it takes a lot of courage not to want to live. The metropolis is full of sadness, but also carries dreams and hopes. Think of Friends in New York, too. Where in life is there no green hills?

The Matthew Scudder series is really such a classic, can you put all sixteen of them together?

Although I'm not used to seeing descriptions in foreign languages, I really like this story.
