During this 45 minute interview Mr. Burke discusses the relationship between Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcell; and, just as importantly, the relationship between their daughters, Alafair and Gretchen Horowitz. Gretchen, Clete's daughter, deepens the bond between all of the characters in the Robicheaux cast-of-characters.
Light of the World is a remarkable novel. I've said it before, and I'll say it again- James Lee Burke is creating a classic body of work. He is writing for the ages. This novel puts him the league with Dostoevsky. He is that good.
This novel deserves the National Book Award, and James Lee Burke deserves the Pulitzer Prize.
