George Pelecanos interviewed by the WSJ on their new culture blog, Speakeasy. He talks about his new novel The Way Home and his job as a writer on David Simon’s new post-Katrina series, Treme.
I read his novels The Night Gardener and Hard Revolution. Most of his work, or maybe all, is set in DC. He’s definitely got a knack for capturing the inner city experience, and I can see why Simon called on him (along with Boston and New York crime novelists Dennis Lehane and Richard Price) to write on The Wire.
