Taken separately, each piece offers a portrayal of rogues variously defined, ranging from the overtly criminal to the lovable (in the case of chef Anthony Bourdain). In most of his previous best-selling books, including “ Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland” and “ Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty,” journalist Patrick Radden Keefe has masterfully illuminated what he calls his “abiding preoccupations.” These are, namely, “crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.” His latest book, “ Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks,” offers a glimpse at these preoccupations in his shorter-form work, a collection of essays originally written for the New Yorker. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Property by valerie martin![]() ![]() The tension is palpable between Manon Gaudet, her plantation owner husband and Sarah and it’s played out against a backdrop of a looming slave rebellion.
