Mailings: Berry is in demand among Catholic groups to speak about the church. We will use mailing lists to target progressive Catholic readers, sending them a postcard about the book. We'll do the same for booksellers in the South. Events: Berry's play, "Earl Long in Purgatory," will be performed this year in southern theaters, starting in Baton Rouge in late March. He is working to take it to other cities, and we plan to hold readings in every city showing the play. (Also, see our Author Tour notes for separate readings)

"With the grittiness of Dashiell Hammett and the rhythms of James Ellroy, Jason Berry gives us Louisiana politics. Last of the Red Hot Poppas is a novel you won't be able to put down." -- Raymond D. Strother, Falling Up: How a Redneck Helped Invent Political Consulting "Nobody understands Louisiana politics better than Jason Berry or writes so convincingly about its corruption, color, and complexity. Last of the Red Hot Poppas had me laughing out loud and turning pages as fast as I could." -- Christine Wiltz, author of The Last Madam: A Life in the New Orleans Underworld
