Accordion Crimes ReviewThis is an ambitious novel of Americana told through the device of an
accordion brought to New Orleans in 1890 by a Sicilian immigrant. The
book is peopled with a huge variety of colorful characters, and the
immigrant experience of Italians, Africans, Germans, Mexicans, French,
Polish and Irish people are depicted with her skillful social
perception, outstanding dialog and overflowing images of the
absurdities, chance circumstances and cruelties of their lives. Each
of her people die grim and violent deaths, and live small and hatefull
lives. There are dozens of characters and not one of them is happy or
finds fulfillment. It is a dark novel, which is grim and depressing
with occasional comic elements which only enhance absurdities of
life.
As I got more deeply into the book, I found it hard to pick up
because I knew I would be bombarded with another sad story of
someone's useless and pain-filled life. And then I couldn't put it
down because, in spite of this, the skillful writing would pull me
along. The stories are loosely strung together, with occasional
flash-forwards for one of the characters, usually describing another
future ugly meaningless death. She's writing about the underclass.
And the reverse side of the American dream. She does it well. So
well, in fact, that her images of lynching, illness, accidents,
abusive relationships and cruelty are not easily forgotten. It is not
a pleasant picture. But yet, it is surprisingly refreshing. Perhaps
because, in spite of her deep and colorful characterizations, the
reader doesn't feel particularly sympathetic to their tragedies and
meaningless lives.
It's a good book, but read it only if you are
unafraid to enter a world of unrelenting pain.
