A New Novel ByDennis Bolazina

Few people embark on a literary career at age seventy, but Dennis Bolazina had a life of experiences that he felt compelled to share. He lived his entire life in St. Louis, attending Washington University for bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture and then Saint Louis University for a law degree, but his travels for business took him to many places, one of which was a project to construct three hotels in New Orleans on the edge of the French Quarter. That is the setting for his novel “Desire,” which also includes references back to his hometown and relatives from The Hill section of St. Louis.
