SS-GB, I Nazisti occupano Londra di Len Deighton

SS-GB, I Nazisti occupano Londra di Len Deighton

Un giallo, un genere che non amo follemente ma che non mi dispiace ogni tanto frequentare. Ma anche parlando di gialli, è inevitabile per me andare un po’ fuori dalle righe. Infatti quello che presenterò è in realtà un romanzo basato su un tema ucronico: SS-GB I nazisti occupano Londra di Len Deighton, [ed. or. 1978], non molto a che vedere con il poliziesco classico o con il noir contemporaneo,…

Deighton recreates the Civil Service atmosphere of espionage that somehow enables the British to triumph over Russia and private spies.
