Gerald Kersh: La notte e la città
di Valerio Evangelisti Ormai anche in Italia i lettori cominciano a riconoscere nel genere noir una delle forme più vitali della letteratura contemporanea. Fioriscono dunque, presso i piccoli e medi editori, collane a esso dedicate, spesso di elevata qualità. Fanucci, che della media editoria è divenuto meritatamente uno dei leader, ha scelto una via diversa e particolarmente stimolante: ha inserito il noir in una collana chiamata dark , dedicata a ogni espressione della parte in ombra dell’animo umano, senza riguardo per il genere narrativo di volta in volta capace di esplorarla. Affidata a uno specialista di anglistica come

Gerald Kersh: Nachts in der Stadt
Eine Leseprobe mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Maas Verlags Ein Mann kam an Fabians Tisch und setzte sich ihm gegenüber.
»Also wenn das nicht Mr. Clark ist!«, rief Fabian aus.
»Guten Abend, Fabian«, sagte Mr. Clark. »Ich glaube, ich muss eine kleine Schuld begleichen.«
»Das eilt nicht.«
»Ich kann es gleich hier machen und die Sache ist erledigt«, sagte Mr. Clark, zog eine Brieftasche hervor und nahm eine Fünfpfundnote heraus. »Es waren fünf, wenn ich mich recht erinnere. Möchten Sie lieber kleine Scheine?«
»Das ist egal«, sagte Fabian. »Geld ist Geld. Waren die Männer in Ordnung?«
»Ja, doch.«
»Mussten Sie Ihnen viel zahlen?«
»So viel wie ich erwartet hatte.«
»Für einen Fünfer machen diese Typen alles, was Sie wollen.«
»Meinen Sie? Jedenfalls kann ich noch mehr Männer wie diese gebrauchen.« »Nun, Mr. Clark, ich glaube, ich kann noch ein paar finden, aber die sehen ziemlich abgerissen aus.« »Es ist mir egal, wenn sie kein Hemd am Leibe haben. Hauptsache, sie sind unverheiratet. Um den Rest kümmere ich mich schon.«

Thanks a lot for the info!
Kersh definitly was one of the authors who not only wrote
gripping books but were interesting personalities as well.
According to Crimetime magazine, Derek Raymond (Robin Cook)
was a Kersh fan as well. Incidentally I am reading Prelude To A
Certain Midnight at the moment and it is not hard to imagine that
Raymond was impressed by the book.

While researching Kersh, I found out that Mark McShane was so impressed by
Prelude and the way that it upturns crime conventions, that he realised that
there were no rules to writing books - and so he started writing crime and
mystery books, Seance On A Wet Afternoon being the most famous.
I wondered if anybody knows of other books which so singularly inspired a
writer to write?

Gerald Kersh's Men Without Bones
commentary by rbadac
Some good blurbs on the back of the Men Without Bones (World Distributors; London, 1960) paperback: "As a surgeon exposing the inner malaise of some of our citizens, Kersh wields the keenest scalpel since Huxley and Waugh were at work in the 'twenties." -Joseph Taggert (Star) I'll buy that. Even if it does make three great writers sound like serial killers. "He is the real successor of Kipling; not a successor by imitation, but a successor by temperament." -Frank O'Connor (Evening News) That too. Kipling needs a successor. Kersh needs one too by now. "Gerald Kersh is that rare combination, a master craftsman with the popular touch; he can satisfy highbrow and lowbrow alike." -John Brophy (Sunday Graphic) Well, that covers this discussion group, hee hee. "I have seen the future of horror, and its name is Gerald Kersh." -Stephen King (Bangor Daily News) Okay, I made that last one up. Or did I? It's hard to be sure. "Men Without Bones" should be familiar, having made it in the more famous (on this side of the ocean) collection Harlan Ellison edited in the Seventies, If Harlan likes it, it must be good, right? Well, generally speaking, anyway (you Dan Simmons fans shut up back there). Two explorers in the Central American jungle find evidence of Martian visitation. They also find yup

60. Ellison / Nightshade And Damnations
Nightshade and Damnations The Finest Stories of gerald kersh. 1968. Youwouldn't end up with gerald kersh, but you might see the parallels.
http://www.islets.net/collections/kersh.html
Nightshade and Damnations:
The Finest Stories of Gerald Kersh
Cross Harlan Ellison with Shirley Jackson, with just a dash of Italo Calvino. You wouldn't end up with Gerald Kersh, but you might see the parallels. From Paul Duncan's Gerald Kersh newsletter "Gerald Kersh (1911-1968) was a great storyteller. He had 19 novels and 21 short story collections published; 21 of these books were never published in the US. He wrote novels, short stories and articles about mystery, SF, war and any subject you care to mention." Nightshade and Damnations , published on the eve of Kersh's death, is a fine sampling. Some of the stories, such as "Men Without Bones," are little more than genre period pieces; others, particularly "The Queen of Pig Island" and "Whatever Happened to Corporal Cuckoo?" touch on the sort of magic realism of which Ellison would later become both an admirer and practitioner. Ellison, from the Introduction: "Damn you, Kersh, for showing me, and all of us who strive to capture magic in a shot glass, how much better you are, how much more easily you can do it! ... No mortal can write this well." This collection, like most of Kersh's writings, is out of print and difficult to find. For more information about the author and his work, visit the
