John Dufresne Launches No Regrets, Coyote

John Dufresne's fifth novel No Regrets, Coyote, has been published to critical acclaim. In the New York Times, Marilyn Stasio calls it "a goulishly funny crime novel," and "dazzling, even by the exacting standards of South Florida crime fiction." And Library Journal says it's a "classy and darkly witty thriller." Dufresne's first ventures into crime writing, stories in Miami Noir and Boston Noir, were each chosen for inclusion in Best American Mysteries, but this is his first venture into a full-length mystery.

A large crowd, including many members of the FIU MFA community were on hand Friday, August 2nd, for the book launch at Books & Books in Coral Gables. The reading and q&a were live-streamed online and can be still be viewed.  Or listen to NPR's All Things Considered interview.
