	James Burke (boxer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Burke (1809-1845) was one of England's earliest Boxing champions.
		Byrne had been the Irish champion and Burke was afraid of the hostile crowd he would encounter in Ireland, so O'Rourke went to the United States and from there jeered at Burke's lack of courage.
		In response, Burke too went to the United States (in reality, Burke was escaping the stigma of having killed his opponent).

	Powells.com Interviews - James Lee Burke
		Burke: The story of Dave's relationship with his mother has been ongoing since the first novel in the series [The Neon Rain].
		Burke: Dave always indicates that violence is the first refuge of the frightened, the inarticulate - and ultimately, it's a form of moral failure.
		Burke: He believes there was provocation, that she should not have been sentenced to death.

	Observer \| A question of character
		Burke has claimed that in developing Robicheaux he has followed Hemingway's dictum that if you know your characters you write about their psychology and so don't need to worry about their vocational roles or where, geographically, you place them.
		Burke is an admirer of Ron Hansen's metaphysical mystery story Mariette in Ecstasy in which it is unclear whether the title character is a fantasist or in league with the devil.
		Burke's focus on character and his pleasure in descriptive writing means that his novels, while well-plotted, follow a pace more leisurely than in most mystery fiction.

	Book review: Last Car to Elysian Fields, Jolie Blon's Bounce by author James Lee Burke
		Burke's imagination finds fertile ground for exploration in New Orleans, and one can only wonder what Burke has in store for Robicheaux in the future.
		In this novel, Burke has created a complicated plot, taking liberty to mix up the themes of good and evil, maybe even, God and the Devil---or more specifically, an allegorical comparison of Jesus casting out the demon.
		James Lee Burke is a rare winner of two Edgar Awards for best crime fiction of the year.

		Burke's books follow Robicheaux to Bayou Teche in rural Louisiana and his ongoing battles with alcoholism and other personal demons.
		Burke is one of the finest stylists in the U.S., regardless of genre.

		James Patterson’s fourth Women’s Murder Club mystery, 4th of July, is a change of pace from earlier installments.
		Their meeting is interrupted when Boxer’s former partner, Jacobi, calls regarding a break in the case.
		After watching Boxer endure the frustrations of her trial and the investigation, it is disappointing to see her relegated to more of an observer than a driving force in the final stages of the case.

	Bleeker Books - Half Of Paradise
		James Lee Burke's first novel does not have the fast paced, action packed movement as does his Dave Robicheaux novels, but he is clearly setting his penchant for detail and human suffering early in his career.
		One man driven to alcoholism by his desire to escape his father's shadow is consumed and fate has led him to prison, let him out and returned him in one foul stroke.
		Another man is a promising boxer who is set up by greed and sentenced to life in prison can only escape one way.

		Although an excellent fighter, Jem Ward—English champion for most of the period from 1825 to 1831—was the first boxer to be disciplined by a governing body for throwing a fight.
		The next year Ward was attending a bout and, when the main event ended quickly, he was called upon to enter the ring against Ned Baldwin, whom he easily defeated.
		A fine fighter and powerfully built man, Ward received criticism for refusing to face the younger challenger, James Burke.

	Faction Fighting in America at American Heritage Fighting Arts Association
		Often Irish boxers were looked up to by the first and second generation irish Amricans as heroes, even if their deeds inside and outside the ring did not warrent such admiration.
		These boxing gangs were often led by Irish American boxers and were described as "bludgeon bearing scoundrels" and "Working class street gangs" by contemporary authors.
		Often, when a popular fighter was facing a foreign boxer, the gangs would drop their enthic leanings to become proud Americans swinging Old Glory.

		Director James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross, The Corruptor) is subtly adept at fleshing out the characters and their ambiguities, which solves the problem inherent in adapting Thompson's sleazy tales--namely, that much of the drama is internal, and therefore unfilmable).
		This is due in part to the exceptional direction by James Foley that creates a story so imaginative and real that you begin to feel as if this could be a town next to yours.

		James Lee Burke has already killed off Dave Robicheaux's first wife, so we are never complacent about Bootsie and Alafair.
		With the inevitability of a punchy boxer, Hillerman continues to drag the series deeper and deeper into mediocrity.

	Taffy Cannon: Bits and Pieces
		I recently visited Louisiana, mostly in New Orleans, but on a side trip north I discovered that the Louisiana State Penitentiary, long regarded as the nation's nadir in penology, has spiffed up its image under a new warden.
		Prior to this visit, most of what I knew about Angola came from reading James Lee Burke, and purely by serendipity, I had Burke's first novel, "Half of Paradise," with me. It's not a mystery, but the three men it chronicles have various problems with the law and nobody lives happily ever after.
		It's a beautifully written book, as all of his are, full of the rich characterizations and artful prose I've found in all his work.
