Audible Editor Reviews
A meandering crime story with a rough-and-tumble noir edge, National
Book Award finalist Madison Smartt Bell's Save Me, Joe Louis follows
Macrae and Charlie as they move from small-time ATM holdups in New York
City to higher-stakes crime, eventually fleeing their violence for solace
in the South. Nick Sullivan, a prolific audiobook voice actor and a
master of accents, performs the tale with aplomb, bringing characters
alive with memorable voices and inflection. Richly detailed and engrossing,
Save Me, Joe Louis entertains to the very last word.
Publisher's Summary
Macrae is living pretty close to the edge in the inhospitable rush of
Manhattan. He and Charlie make their bread, such as it is, by a fairly
clever scheme of forcing their vitims to withdraw money from bank cash
machines. It's not very lucrative, but it's not very risky either. They
become involved in darker matters, and Macrae indulges in an incomparably
brutal act of vengeance, which is not really his style - Charlie is
the one with psychotic tendencies.
The pair moves on to Baltimore, where they hook up with a black ex-con
called Porter, from whom Macrae begins to learn "the perils of living...
an unexamined life." With crime as their livelihood, the three move
on to the rural South. It is here that Macrae will rediscover Lacy,
an old flame, who will perhaps help him find his balance in his topsy-turvy
world of perpetual distemper.
