Winslow says he didn’t read Greek and Roman classics until adulthood, when he discovered parallels to the real-life mob stories of his youth. Winslow found inspiration in the mobsters of the Rhode Island towns where he grew up and, intriguingly, from Homer’s “Iliad.” Now comes “ City on Fire,” the first installment of a new trilogy the author has been working on for years. Winslow earned a Los Angeles Times Book Prize for the second installment and a deal with FX to turn the novels into a TV series. In that series, Winslow elevated the story of America’s disastrous 50-year war on drugs, and two men on opposite sides of the battle, to Shakespearean proportions.
