A long time ago she connected with the dark side. Can't really expect someone entrenched in the satanic to do/say the right thing.
Agreed. I read her first vampire book, since I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction. It was over the top on the decadence and sex, but what do you expect of vampires? Then I read the second, and it was worse, and worse written, and around that point I decided she was a hack writer who wasn't worth the time of day. She panders to her readers in the worst way.
Ms. Rice is really into fiction.
Grisham's a leftist. Give money to Mississippi Catholic Charities.
So that I never again can be accused of disappointing Anne, we should not piss away a single dollar on rebuilding this city for the next catastrophy. Let's just clean the place up and turn it back to natural wetlands.
Make that former New Orleans resident. She moved out in early 2004.
When I was a kid I remember living in Buras, La. The town was in Plaquemine Parrish. The Parrish was controled then by Mr Leander Perez. In order to get a Louisiana drivers license my mother had to get a written note from Mr Leander. Years later, while stationed in Hawaii I met and old fellow who left Plaquemine Parrish at the beginning of WWII. We talked a lot about the old home grounds. One thing he asked me was, "Is Mr Leander still running things there?"(His son occupied the cat-bird seat for years after Mr Leanders death).Corruption is as much a part of Louisiana as Pelicans and Hughie P Long.
Sorry Ms Rice. Your history failed you not the US government. Maybe now, having kicked the scab off the festering sore that is Louisana politics, something will happen to get it right.
And, BTW, let it be a lesson to all of us. Politicians left unaccountable to anyone soon become incredible costly to everyone. Washington and state capitols should be made to fear and tremble at the suggestion of constituent oversight.
I'm sure she's just one of those "peace loving/anti-gun liberal/socialists" that we, unfortunately, all know.
I do not want or care about those things for the reason that they are things.
That's what I have always imagined, and why I have never wanted to go. Apart from architecture and oceanview v. riverview, if I want to visit NO I can always go to Detroit. It's closer.
Anne Rice rcently bought a mega million dollar home
in the La Jolla area of San Diego where she now lives.
Open your home to the folks Anne.
I hope you distributed this letter to editors across the country and sent her a copy personally.
And Celine Dion says,
"Let them loot it."
They (anne rice, ellen degeneres, etc , all love NO but none of them actually lives there!
I wonder if someone like Ann Rice really would ever end up reading this...does she have a website?
I thought she actually lived in San Francisco. A friend of mine took a class at SF State taught by her husband.
Of course not. No self-respecting wealthy white liberal would live with the "poor working class".
Rice and her ilk love to wax philosophic about how "we" (themselves excluded) have failed the Big Easy from the Coco Chanel bedecked rooms in their multimillion dollar gated communities.
She should either put her money where her mouth is or STFU.
Her erotic novel, Belinda, feasts on a sexual relationship between a 44-year old illustrator of children's books and his foster daughter, a 16 year old girl.
