Om författaren

Caleb Carr, a lifetime resident of New York, was born in 1955 and grew up on the Lower East Side. His father was an editor and close friend to famous Beat Generation writers, such as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Although Carr was personally exposed to their style of writing and Bohemian visa mer lifestyles, he chose to take his own work in a different direction. Where the Beat writers wrote purely from expression and feelings, Caleb Carr's works are diligently researched and known for their historical accuracy. Caleb Carr developed a love of history at a young age, acquiring a keen interest in military history while attending a Quaker high school. This interest led him to major in history at Kenyon College and NYU. Notable works by Caleb Carr are The Alienist, which was on the New York Times' bestseller list for 24 weeks; The Devil Soldier; and Angel of Darkness. In addition to writing fiction, Carr is a contributing editor of MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History. (Bowker Author Biography) Caleb Carr was born in Manhattan and grew up on the Lower East Side, where he still lives. In addition to his bestselling fiction, Mr. Carr writes frequently on military and political affairs. He is series editor of the Modern Library War Series and is a contributing editor of MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History. (Publisher Provided) visa färre

Killing Time av Caleb Carr

I happened upon this book at a library sale in October 2023. I read the first sentence of the blurb and thought, "yep, that tracks with 2023." So I bought it. And I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it, because the blurb was about the only thing that tracked with 2023. I like dystopian fiction in general, but this had too much conspiracy woo for my taste and seemed to rely too heavily on science-fiction type tech, even for something written 23 years before its setting. It was entertaining enough for one read, but not for a second read.… (mer)

The Alienist av Caleb Carr

I read half and then…didn’t care enough to finish. I guess it is supposed to be an interesting examination of early psychiatric forensics, but it was not that interesting. Kind of boring.
