Well, Karin, I must admit that after BLUE BELLE and one
other, I'm unlikely to rush to another Burke novel, inasmuch
as the Burke family strike me as the noirish Doc Savage Gang,
and much less acceptable in this more "mature" context.
I think you make the indictment well. Belle's preferred means
of sleeping with Burke is also the extremely impractical
fantasy of an adolescent, as well.
I admire Vacchs's legal work, and his other activism. His
fiction I've encountered, not so much.
An interview with Vacchs, part of the series RADIO NATION,
will be upcoming on the following link:

It's a repeat of a previous broadcast, I believe, but it's
worth hearing, if so, and may well be, if new. TM (who used
to play RADIO NATION on WCXS, Fairfax County, VA and later on
WPPR, Philadelphia, but no longer, unfortunately)

I read two Andrew Vachss novels in a row, Flood (his first)
and Blue Belle
(the third, I think). But will I read any more of his? After
Flood the answer was yes. After Blue Belle, I'm not so
sure.
