    Mule: A Novel of Moving Weight (Mariner Books)

    In a passionate and personal interview, Tony D'Souza reveals the life events that led him to write a novel about a solid, middle-class kid who becomes a drug mule. Our interview makes it clear that D'Souza's own life demanded he write this story, which is very different from his first two, more sensitive, humanistic books.

    Read an excerpt from Mule: A Novel of Moving Weight.
