“A man and a rooster exit a taxi idling on a crowded street. The man is short and thin, and the rooster is green, and the rooster belongs to him. The taxi belongs to him as well. He’s wearing a fresh shirt, the blood all washed out, and his polyester slacks shine a little in the afternoon light. He’s too young to be balding, but is. His mouth is a rotten mess, owing to bad hygiene and a shabu habit. His name is Ignacio. He and the rooster are villains.” —Moondogs by Alexander Yates

One of the most brilliant opening paragraphs from a debut novel that I’ve ever read. An absolute must-read for all Tarantino fans. It hits stores 3.15—countdown’s on.
