Daniel Fitzpatrick at the GDBS

The Garden District Book Shop is thrilled to welcome Daniel Fitzpatrick on June 11 to celebrate Red Robichaux and Other Southern Moralists

Red Robichaux and Other Southern Moralists: Short Stories ranges from the streets of Italy to the woods of Arkansas but always returns to the Crescent City. Arranged loosely around the story of Janelle Moats—her long life in New Orleans, her encounters with art, and her experience of human nature—these tales find their characters in a world that is both beautiful and violent. Echoing Tennessee Williams and James Joyce, Eudora Welty and Dante, Daniel Fitzpatrick’s debut collection of short fiction bears witness to the mystery of the human heart and to the suffering that looks through death.Final Cut, The Debutantes, and People to Follow.
