  PBSTL PROFILE- Mike Doughty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When you talk about Louise Brooks, you are not talking about the woman, but the pure icon she created.
However, the Doughty that emerged in 2000 was one who merely wanted to do what he loved best: write songs.
Doughty chuckles at the memory and, perhaps, the thought that affirmation is the furthest thought from his mind.

 A Gypsy family saga unfolds in World War II Europe
In her ambitious new novel, "Fires in the Dark," Louise Doughty researched her own family's history in order to give voice to this marginalized people -- to tell an often overlooked Holocaust story from the point of view of the Roma.
Doughty begins her tale in 1927, some 15 years before the Nazis embarked upon their genocide, introducing us to a childless couple, Josef and Anna, and the other members of their tight-knit clan.
Doughty probably wanted to challenge us by declaring that even people you don't understand, and may even dislike, deserve to be treated with respect and should never have ended in the camps.

Humour, insight, passion and compassion; these are some of the words that come to mind when I think about this evening’s readings and discussions with Louise Doughty; a strong and all too rare voice of the Romany people.
Her readings were captivating, the incidents from the book were a joy to listen to and I can’t wait to actually sit down with her novels and read them from cover to cover.
Just as interesting as the discussions into the content of the novels themselves, however, were the stories she narrated of how she gathered some of her material, the thinking behind the intellectual property she incorporates in her work, and the reasons behind the writing.

British author Louise Doughty's first book published across the pond tells of a troubled teen found missing after the brutal murders of both her parents and the resulting downfall of her tightly knit community.
"British author Doughty, new to the US mystery scene, has the rare ability to pull the reader in, to make the background come alive and to leave a chill in the air with the underplayed cruelty of her dysfunctional families.
"In her sane but unforgiving style, Doughty strips away the artifice about murder to show 'how mundane it is--how it can happen and mean almost nothing' to people trapped in the isolation of their own small worlds."
