Check out the latest review of Poppas in the Press-Register of Mobile, Alabama.

Here's a taste:

Rather than attempt to summarize a complicated story line that features Gulf Coast mobsters, strippers, toxic-waste injection wells, double-dealing, murder and so on, suffice it to say that the book is funny and engaging. To use a well-worn regional analogy, if it were a bowl of gumbo it would be one-quarter John Kennedy Toole and three-quarters Elmore Leonard, seasoned by Berry's journalistic-style reportage and insights.

Jason Berry is the Mobile Writers Guild guest tomorrow at 7 pm at the Mobile Public Library. The reading is free and open to the public, so drop by and hear Jason bring the characters of Last of the Red Hot Poppas to life.
