From a photographic love letter to the worst sniper attack in U.S. history to a detailed portrait of pre-Katrina New Orleans to the punk flop houses of the Bywater -- taken together these books comprise a portrait of New Orleans unlike any other.
Praise for Leaning with Intent to Fall:
"Clark reminds me there's a brave new generation out there -- young people who are wise enough to turn their backs on prejudice, materialism and other deadly aspects of our culture; who still think it's important to see the world before settling into the life they've been told will make them happy."
--Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times
Praise for A Terrible Thunder:
"A Terrible Thunder is more than just another fashionable journalistic rehashing of a crime. In its depiction of Essex's abrupt transmogrification it raises questions about the accumulated effect of petty but persistent injustices and about the individual's capacity to endure aggrievement."
--Mel Watkins, New York Times Book Review
Praise for What the Hell Am I Doing Here?:
"A wonderful photographic poem...Excellent."
--Doug MacCash, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune
Praise for Letters From New Orleans:
"...Walker's refusal to pronounce is generally as endearing, honest, funny and moving as the stories themselves - a clearer lens, perhaps, than any earnest literary compilation by eminent New Orleanians (proceeds to Katrina victims) that's surely about to appear. (Walker has pledged all his proceeds to relief efforts, too.)...Anyway, you won't need a memorial volume, because these stories now function as 21 silent little jazz funerals: exuberant, celebratory and tragic."
--Kate Sekules, The New York Times Book Review
