Hard Rain Falling
''Hard Rain Falling'' is a 1966 crime novel written by Don Carpenter. The novel was Carpenter's first published book, and follows the adventures of Jack Levitt, an orphaned teenager living off his wits in the fleabag hotels and seedy pool halls of Portland, Oregon.
Upon its release the book was heralded as a readable, grim, and masterful debut. “…a first novel . . . of remarkable quality, written with authority, detachment and an almost uncanny, deadpan intelligence," wrote Martin Seymour-Smith in The Spectator, adding "I have seldom come across a new novel in which such compelling readability coexists with such absolute seriousness of purpose and keenness of psychological insight."〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Contemporary Authors Online )〕
Thirty-three years after its publication, it was re-published by the New York Review Book classics.〔(Google Books-Hard Rain Falling by Don Carpenter )〕 Fourteen years after the suicide of Don Carpenter in 1995, the novel received a wave of renewed national and international interest, including an acclaimed review by the Washington Post in 2009.〔(Washington Post Review-Hard Rain Falling by Don Carpenter, by Richard Lipez, September 14, 2009 )〕 The novel also received posthumous international recognition for Carpenter, including a 2009 reviewed by the UK Independent.〔(Independent Review-Hard Rain Falling by Boyd Tonkin, November 13, 2009 )〕
