Book Review: "Dirty Little" gem
Summary: 5 Stars
Only a writer with searing gifts of observation and an almost desperate generosity of spirit could pull off a contemporary story of despair and redemption with such Dickensian precision. Meet Chris Tusa. Right out of the box, Mr. Tusa establishes a tough contract: He writes from the perspective of a teen-aged girl - no small feat, that - and he paints Hailey as a grittier, tougher, more badass version of Scout Finch. Then he proceeds to dig in his toolbox and unpack every gizmo at his disposal: words so packed with action, feeling and tension that you know you're either in New Orleans or in the presence of a fine new generation of Crescent City writer. After all, the City that Care Forgot is the world's most sensuous city, and Mr. Tusa takes care to expose our every sense - from a human face scorched to resemble a brown-paper bag to a human heart ravaged by the same forces that still rattle the bones of Blanche DuBois.
-- John Jeter, author of The Plunder Room
