Poppy Z. Brite lets rip a little of how she feels on the 5 month anniversary of Katrina landfall.
Of course I am mad as hell: at the Army Corps of Engineers who lied to us, at the White House and Congress who want our resources but don’t want to pay for them, at our local and state politicians and FEMA who left us to die, at other Americans who make cracks about the stupidity of living in a flood zone as they burn oil processed here and suck up the bounty of our waters and ports.
I loved her two newest novels, Liquor and Prime both of which are set in the New Orleans restaurant world.
