A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made, with language as powerful as Angela Carter's. It's as deep and crafty as Gene Wolfe, bloodier than Robert E. Howard, and all Marlon James... I cannot wait for the next instalment (Neil Gaiman)Stand aside, Beowolf. There's a new epic hero slashing his way into our hearts...James is clear-cutting space for a whole new kingdom. Black Leopard, Red Wolf rises up from the mists of time, glistening like viscera. James has spun an African fantasy as vibrant, complex and haunting as any Western mythology (Washington Post)A miracle... If Charles R. Saunders' Imaro series opened the door to new ways of telling epic fantasy, and N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance trilogy leapt over the threshold, then Marlon James' Black Leopard, Red Wolf just ripped the whole damn door off its hinges (Tor)I can honestly say I cannot wait for the next instalment (John Burnside Spectator)Marlon James possesses almost frightening levels of talent... His work is wholly original while paying homage to all the important literary ancestors. An archetypal epic for the 21st century (Forbes)Black Leopard, Red Wolf heralds the arrival of fantasy's next great saga and reaffirms James as one of the greatest storytellers of his generation (BookPage)One of the most talked-about and influential adventure epics since George R.R.

I guarantee you will be swept downstream' (Louise Erdrich)Black Leopard, Red Wolf ... affirms [James's] place as one of our most talented living authors. (Literary Hub)What marks James's tale as his own is the wonder evoked through descriptive, unrelenting prose along with a focus on a distinct mythology cobbled from history and folk tale.

Klappentext
Volume 1 of Dark Star 'The child is dead. There is nothing left to know.'Tracker is a hunter, known throughout the thirteen kingdoms as one who has a nose - and he always works alone. But he breaks his own rule when, hired to find a lost child, he finds himself part of a group of hunters all searching for the same boy. Each of these companions is stranger and more dangerous than the last, from a giant to a witch to a shape-shifting Leopard, and each has secrets of their own.As the mismatched gang follow the boy's scent from perfumed citadels to infested rivers to the enchanted darklands and beyond, set upon at every turn by creatures intent on destroying them, Tracker starts to wonder: who really is this mysterious boy? Why do so many people want to stop him being found? And, most important of all, who is telling the truth and who is lying?Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James weaves a tapestry of breathtaking adventure through a world at once ancient and startlingly modern. And, against this exhilarating backdrop of magic and violence, he explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, the excesses of ambition, and our need to understand them all.

Durchatmen. Es hat einige Zeit gedauert, ehe ich das Buch durch hatte. Aber es hat sich gelohnt. Was für Bilder, was für eine Höllenfahrt. Marlon James ist für mich der wohl beste lebende Schriftsteller, und das schreibe ich schweren Herzens, weil mir einiges an seinen Romanen auch missfällt (Darstellungen von Folter und Vergewaltigung widern mich fast immer an). Wer die nötige Zeit und die nötigen Nerven hat, sollte eintauchen in dieses Buch. Wer schnelle Fantasy-U-Bahnlektüre erwartet, wird gewaltig enttäuscht werden, Marlon James schreibt zu verwirrend und zu poetisch teilweise. Mein Buch des Jahres 2019, da bin ich mir schon sicher.
I love fantasy and was excited to try this book- it had all the makings of a classic fantasy epic. A group of misfits, each with their own special skill, trying to work together to find a kidnapped child who seems to be important to warring groups of royals. African history and mythology coming to life as our group crosses the land and fights demons, vampires, magic, and each other.It took me about one hundred pages to start getting into Black Leopard, Red Wolf. The writing style took a lot of getting used to, not just because it is told as if the narrator is telling stories, but because he jumps around. There's no chronological order, we don't really meet characters as much as they just appear, and things are rarely explained or described. When Tracker finally gets to telling us the story of him getting paid to join up with a group searching for a child who was kidnapped three years ago, the pace picks up and the story gets (mostly) easier to follow. We still don't really know who any of the characters are, or why they are doing anything. We get a lot of stories to explain why things happen and who people are but it's also understood pretty much up front that at least half of what anyone says will be a lie. The end result being I didn't have much of an emotional connection to any of the characters and liked them even less- including Tracker, who despite being our narrator isn't likable but instead is mostly an arrogant, misogynistic jerk even to the few characters who try to get along with him.Pages of descriptions still left me with no image in my head of what I was supposed to be seeing during the traveling, many of the magical beings met along the way got no description because Tracker assumes we know what he's talking about. But let it come to killing something/one, rape, torture, or any other horrible thing and don't worry- those episodes get described in such minute detail you can smell the blood and guts.There were times when I enjoyed the story-telling narrative, when it reminded me of The Odyssey as Homer describes travels and magics and wonders. But more often the technical aspects of the book were distracting and what I ended up focusing on more than the story. If it had been a more 'conventional' narrative, would I have liked the book better? No, I don't think so. Basically it comes down the fact that this was a raw, gritty, dark fantasy and I am not a fan of dark fantasy. I can handle violence is small doses but Red Wolf gives us huge overdoses. Friends become enemies, enemies fight as allies, and it is jarring each time because we only get the story of 'why' afterwards. Far before we get to the end we find ourselves asking what the point of all of it was. Maybe that is the point, maybe the book is meant to be a philosophical questioning of who we are and what is truth and why do people do anything. But when I end a book asking myself "This is how it ended? What was the point of this?" it's pretty certain I'm not going to read the rest of the series to find out out.Black Leopard, Red Wolf is 600 pages of raw violence, betrayal, rape, gang rape, torture, and killing surrounding a quest you're never sure the point of. The technicalities of the writing probably mean some people will love it and others will hate it. Those who enjoy dark fantasy may like the story, but readers hoping for something lighter, uplifting, or positive should probably steer clear of this one. I rather wish I had.
Wow. Fantasy is not my usual genre and I was late to Game of Thrones (and I've still not finished the series) but this- this was amazing. James has created a complex (at times overwhelmingly so) world set in Africa with characters that will stun you. Tracker is a fascinating creature and his quest is one you'll find yourself barreling along with. I honestly don't know what to write about this except to suggest that you try it, even if you, like me are not a fantasy reader. I read this on kindle and would strongly urge others to read it in hard copy (like, you know, book) format because you will find yourself wanting to refer to the list of characters and to occasionally check things you think you read earlier. That isn't a criticism by any means, only a suggestion to make this immersive read more enjoyable. Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC. I'm very much looking forward to the next installment.
The fundamental ideal of using African influences for the world-building is fantastic - it appears strange and familiar at the same time. Unfortunately the execution of the story itself is so flawed as to make the book unreadable for most people. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's so dark that I struggled to find any joy in reading the story. There is so much emphasis on bodily functions, both sexual and scatological, it comes off almost comical at times because most of it is gratuitous and not germane to the plot. Most of the characters, especially the protagonist, are irredeemable and impossible to relate to. I couldn't find myself rooting for any of them, and the success or failure of their quest was meaningless to me. Speaking of the quest, the main mystery turns out to be related to something that happened six generations back and this story line is abandoned at the end of the book as we switch to a more simplistic revenge plot line instead. None of this is helped by the mostly non-linear story telling. The writing and prose are good - the author is very talented in that way - but this is unfortunately a big miss on what could have really been a very original setting to an epic fantasy.
This book was marketed as Game of Thrones in Africa, or if Tolkien had used African mythology instead of Norse. I see the logic of these representations, but these comparisons don't accurately portray the tone, language or violence of the novel.A much better description would be that it's like if Salmon Rushdie or Haruki Murakami wrote the Walking Dead. The book is much closer to a work of literature than popular fantasy fiction in its style. The storytelling is non-linear, with stories-in-stories like nesting dolls, all told from the point-of-view of a very unreliable narrator. And the content is much closer to the walking dead than Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. The deaths (and rapes) are frequent, unfairly doled out, gruesome, and gratuitous. It's just that instead of zombies, the monsters come from African folklore and mythology.I personally really liked this book. But I think several of the other reviewers did not know what they were signing up for. If you're a fan of challenging contemporary literature AND the fantasy genre AND you have a strong stomach, you will probably find this book a rewarding read.
Filled with gratuitous and rampant cursing, sexuality, violence and brutality. Too much even for fans of dark fantasy. I could not finish it.
