James Lee Burke discusses his new novel, Jesus Out to Sea
![]() |
Desc: James Lee Burke discusses his new novel of short stories, Jesus Out to Sea, and the effect of Hurricane Katrina on his writing.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
James Lee Burke is in a class of his own for his highly acclaimed, award-winning crime fiction, most notably the Dave Robicheaux series set in Louisiana. Now the very best of his recent short stories have been gathered together in one collection.
Burke paints a vivid picture of 1940s and 1950s Texas and Louisiana, from heartbreaking childhood reminiscences to death on an oil drilling barge and betrayal within a rock 'n' roll band. And as you would expect of a writer who cares passionately about his fellow man as well as the environment, the more contemporary stories deal with the devastation left by a hurricane - the despair of those stranded or left widowed by the disaster. Here is the first collection for ten years of stories by a modern master. Become lost in the melancholy beauty of James Lee Burke's writing in this remarkable assortment of tales.

Paragraph - Follow Up
![]() |
Desc: I want you to write a 'paragraph' - in a style like you would find in a novel. Pretend that whatever you write would come true. Be exact and precise. It could be a 'small' thing that relates to your life or a 'big' thing that could impact on many people. The key is to understand the repercussions that your words would have and the responsibility that you need to exercise in saying them. |
