True Confessions
By John Gregory Dunne, introduction by George Pelecanos
Thunder’s Mouth, 341 pages, $14.95 paper
After seeing “Capote,” if you’re inclined toward crime, curl up with this new edition of the late John Gregory Dunne’s best-known novel, about two Irish Catholic brothers, one a homicide detective, the other a priest. Dunne’s 1940s Los Angeles is shadowy and bright–and provides a new way to look at Truman Capote’s Kansas.
