I'm about 50 pages in, Steve. Katrina was surreal for me because it hit while I was visiting my cousin outside of Louisville. That's what I recall most, being away from home, thinking how that hurricane was destroying Mississippi even as I rode down I-65 in the rain. I had hoped Burke would write about this, and I'm always happy to see Clete again.

I've bought it, but I haven't been able to bring myself to read it yet.

Strange that I'd just seen Wayne post about this today, and now you do. I want to get this, although I don't have it yet. Burke is a helluva writer.
When an eloquent and poetic man writes about such monstrous tragedy, the effect is like a sharp wire, twisted around the heart.
Back to my reading.
(Oddly, still managed 2000 words today)
dont have it, will see how to get it...:)
enjoy it:)
