I Was Dora Suarez | Derek Raymond

I Was Dora Suarez

A dark and uncompromising noir crime novel by Derek Raymond, written with his signature intensity and a focus on the human cost of violence.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of films and books that had something to say. This is one of those pieces.

This is not a cosy crime read. It is a brutal, psychological story that forces you to sit with the uncomfortable parts of society, the parts that get ignored until it is too late. Raymond writes with anger and compassion at once, and it makes the book feel heavy in the best and hardest way.

It is the kind of story that stays with you because it refuses to soften what it is showing.

If you read noir for its honesty and you can handle a story that goes to very dark places, this is a powerful one.
