In her third short story collection  Poppy Z. Brite finds fresh ways of exploring territory both familiar and strange. Here you ll meet the Devil and his giant cat last seen in the pages of Bulgakov  the gourmand coroner of New Orleans  the mad-genius chef who can t stand to have his cheese list criticized  and an assortment of Crescent City characters who also appear in Brite s novels Liquor and Prime. Poppy Z. Brite has found a way of writing about New Orleans that bypasses the clichs and approaches the city s true heart: the hard-working  hard-partying cooks; the ways in which race  class  and sexual orientation do and don t matter; the love of bottom feeders  be they crustaceans or politicos; the million little juxtapositions of sacred and profane  bizarre and mundane  sublime and ridiculous that make up the everyday life of New Orleans. Some of these stories are set elsewhere  but Brite always returns home in the end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652941307957,"sku":"ByrdShop_1931081727","price":78.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781931081726.jpg?v=1781853911","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-devil-you-know-9781931081726","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
