Rum Punch

Product Information

Rule: Avoid using exclamation points (in other words, Leonard is telling us to let the action itself communicate power and excitement). 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. 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. I’m not surprised that Tarantino’s studio bought the rights to five of Leonard’s books, even though several of those acquisitions lapsed and landed those books in less-competent directorial hands.

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. 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.La trama fa acqua un po’ qui e un po’ lì, lungi dall’ essere quel meccanismo a orologeria dei migliori romanzi di genere. Personalmente ho trovato appena sbozzati e dunque psicologicamente poco credibili anche i personaggi. Ma il libro si fa leggere per la scrittura avvincente e per i dialoghi decisamente divertenti. The cinnamon and nutmeg are optional, but once you try them, you won’t make your rum punch without them. 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. You might think two-and-a-half hours is an awfully long time to chill out with characters, but that’s the beauty of a Leonard-Tarantino relationship, one that points to Tarantino’s ascension as a more mature director compared to his first two works: we don’t need on-screen violence and gore (looking at you, Reservoir Dogs) to engage us with every scene. Instead, we empathize with characters who might be wise guys and crooks, but whose humanity comes through with every conversation, every gesture between lines. Jamaican rum punch is a fruity drink with a rum base. This tropical rum is popular among tourists and Jamaicans alike.

Rum Punch - Elmore Leonard - Google Books

This is absolutely a high point in a career full of them. Like always, though, I find Leonard's stuff hard to review because all of his books, to one degree or another, are variations on a theme: double- and triple-crosses perpetrated by A) a shrewd woman, B) a world-weary guy (who typically has the hots for the shrewd woman), C) a couple incompetent villains, and D) assorted other Miami and/or Detroit lowlifes. And of course all of it is shot through with Leonard's unerring ear for dialogue. DeGroff, Larousse and Trader Vic’s use grenadine syrup to give what David Wondrich, writing in Esquire, calls a “crazy colour” and a red-berry sweetness. It feels appropriately gaudy, but the fruity flavour changes the character of the drink, robbing it of its simplicity. THANK YOU for all of your support, for visiting my blog, commenting, and sharing my recipes with your friends and family. I am SO thankful for you!Super! I need a tropical fruit punch recipe as I’m not a fan of the ‘fake’ juices. That said, this is classic and hits the spot! 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 I suoi protagonisti più che ricordare Chandler, malinconico e romantico, o lo schizofrenico Thompson, sono sull’impronta dei cowboys che popolano le pagine dei suoi (meravigliosi) racconti e dei suoi (presumo, perché non li ho ancora letti) romanzi western. Elmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch" (1992) tells a tangled tale of crime, violence and double-crossing written in a punchy style with sharp dialogue. The plot is confusing to follow at first, but it works out. Most of the story is set in West Palm Beach, Florida; but the setting is not the primary focus of the book. The main interest of the work lies in the snappy writing and in the characters and their relationships. Now we have a free for all. Everybody now has a scheme to get their hands on the money. All the villains are lying to each other. The police are lying to the villains and the villains are lying to the police. As I have said “it’s a free for all”.

Rum Punch - Wikipedia

Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara first appeared in Leonard's 1978 novel, The Switch. Fourteen years later, Ordell has become a thief and minor-league gun runner while Louis is fresh out of prison. Also returning is Ordell's sometime girlfriend, Melanie. Ordell has a big score in mind that involves ripping off the leader of a group of white supremacists, and he recruits his old pal Louis to give him a hand, dangling Melanie before him as bait.

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. 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.
