White Mexicans is the third
literary release from Belfast author, David Louden. His now well-rounded, earthy writing style
has drawn comparisons to legendary American author Charles Bukowski from fellow
authors, publications and audiences alike. From Friday 17th - Sunday 19th July White Mexicans is FREE on Amazon Kindle.
THE BLURB
Too
poor to escape Los Angeles, too weak to survive in it; Doug Morgan takes a
job writing an Exploitation movie to pay the bills. Struggling with the
pay-off between art and commerce he finds himself on the path to redemption, if
he can scrape himself off rock bottom.
Half
novella, half short story compilation, White Mexicans is an
American tale told in the Irish yarn tradition. Populated with
Louden’s usual spit and spite dialogue, off-colour humour and poetic
lamentation of a world gone wrong; his third outing is a mix of fable
and low-life fiction.
THE HYPE
“Really
funny.” -Nik Everleigh
“Powerful
and thought provoking.” -Hugh Cron
“Bukowski’s style
and to the point attitude.”
-Adam West
“A witty,
self-deprecating humour […] the final sentence did make me grin and wince at
the same time.” -Diane Dickson
“A rare
voice.” -Anthony Wobbe
“A lot of
style to it and dark humour in abundance […] tackles every story subject with
ferocity and without fear.”
-Nik Everleigh
