a TV movie, a long episode of a TV show, but both well done. Here's what got me back to mind after reading this novel by Matheson.
"Fury on Sunday" (and with a habit of changing unnecessarily titles) is in effect a very fast-paced noir and well focused in three hours (of course): a noir, and I say now, well managed and that leaves the reader with a sense of discomfort on the skin subtle but undeniable.
Matheson, had already said on other occasions, has the ability to use few words to outline well-balanced thoughts, situations and characters: the brush strokes are fine, clear, draw sketches so perfect that you do not need any kind of further definition, we brought in the mind of the protagonist and you hear the crazy crazy on you, on your skin, like a hot molasses we'd like to wash away without success. But the author demonstrates further
ability to jump from one "mind" to another paragraph in paragraph telling thoughts and views without any need to announce the change of perspective: the rhythm is syncopated, perfect to the penny and the reader is drawn without losing , with bated breath for the time necessary to the unfolding of the story.
The story is not allowed and frills from a simple incident: a young man, who was imprisoned in a mental hospital for repeated violence, escapes and decides to "liberate" the only woman who ever wanted (can not use the term "beloved "in this case) from the husband who, in his view sick, took her away from him, and the only way to free her husband and is killing anyone who stands in the middle.
From here a story that in time of the narrative, takes the famous three hours and I challenge you to read longer.
Bello.
