Book Reviews of My New Orleans: Ballads to the Big Easy by Her Sons, Daughters, and Lovers
Book Review: I hope there will be a tribute to my city like this someday.
Summary: 5 Stars
My home town is a little over a century old. A child by New Orleans standards. I hope in a few centuries the artists of my city will write tributes such as this for my home.
This is not a history or an organized cultural survey. It is celebration of the Big Easy's culture. It illustrates that New Orleans is substantially different from the rest of the United States. The people, food and art differs. Not like L.A. differs from Seattle but like Egypt differs from London.
I bought the book because Poppy Z. Brite and Christopher Rice were in the same book. I went on to enjoy all of the essays. I hope you do as well.
Bless You!
