The paperback edition of CITY OF REFUGE is now officially on sale. It includes a P.S. section at the end featuring new material including an interview with the author, an expanded bio, and more.
A panoramic novel of two New Orleans families whose lives are torn apart by Hurricane Katrina and then stitched back together, City of Refuge will be published by Harper on August 19, 2008. Richard Russo, the Pulitzer prize winning author of Empire Falls, wrote, “To read City of Refuge is to realize that this is what fiction is for: to take us to places the cameras can't go. The novel's characters--and what happens to them--are unforgettable.” For more advance quotes from Richard Ford, Mary Gaitskill, Douglas Brinkley and others, go here.
