fully develops the theme. I've been reading him since sometime in the '80s, and have never seen him as eloquent in his searing contempt for the elites who regard us as economic cannon fodder.
Glass Rainbow was wonderful. I thought he was using it to wrap up the Dave Robichaux series at first. Like all of his work, it's elegiac and sad...a look at a ruined lost world as seen by a too-human recovering alcoholic. It's a deeply moving book, especially the ending. In Creole Belle, that same suffering person goes after the very people who have stolen that world and our lives. His final success is a small one and incomplete, and he knows it.
Mr. Burke is a national treasure.
