Requiem, MASS

OKAY, this is admittedly a shameless promotion for a dear friend of mine who has written his...wait for it....sixth novel. The name of the book is Requiem, MASS. and for those you who have not yet heard of it, remember, you heard it here first! John Dufresne is an extraordinary writer, having written such classic novels at Louisiana Power & Light, Love Warps The Mind A Little. and Johnny Too Bad. John has also published a book of short stories (The Way That Water Enters Stone) as well as an inspriring textbook on the art of writing: The Lie That Tells The Truth. Such prolificness! And he's also a wonderful human being to boot. We collaborated for several years on a play called Trailerville which received its New York premier in the spring of 2000. John is my friend, mentor, and sometime drinking buddy. Buy mostly he's my favorite contemporary novelist, bar none. So do yourself a huge favor a go find this new novel immediately. This is a writer at the top of his game, and the book is sure to be unlike the kind of story you might expect.
