Praise for
Rampart Street
“Though written before Katrina hit, ‘Rampart Street’ eerily captures
the sense of disorientation when someone returns to a beloved place
and feels himself a stranger… the elegiac tone in which Fulmer
views the city’s fabled amusements feels sadly prescient.”
-- The New York Times
"A bittersweet trip to New Orleans… A blues-drenched pleasure."
-- The Christian Science Monitor

whom it’s easy to cheer."

complex web of murder, corruption, and betrayal.”
-- The San Francisco Chronicle
