"In America you don't feel what you do. You are in the eye of a hurricane that you create. Pain and suffering and injustice all over the world, and all you see is blue skies."
                                              -- From Innocent Blood: A Novel

The Sleeper, the sequel, will be published in September 2004.



(Listen to the Talk of the Nation segment about the novel, or read the Barnes and Noble interview, both from that summer of 97.)
