Book Reviews of New Orleans Stories: Great Writers on the City
Book Review: Starter for tasting the literature about New Orleans
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read most of the full works highlighted in this anthology and thought that the little tastes were like getting a bite of a Muffaletta and nothing more. For someone who has not ever read New Orleans writers this is nice place to start but it isn't for someone who wants a bigger taste of the city through its literature.
Summary of New Orleans Stories: Great Writers on the City
Voodoo. Vampires. Jazz. There's no city quite like New Orleans, a city that whispers stories and where writers come to eavesdrop. New Orleans Stories collects the very best writing on the Big Easy by a stellar gallery of writers for whom the city has played host and muse -- from Walt Whitman and William Faulkner to Anne Rice, Truman Capote, Walker Percy, Tennessee Williams, and Zora Neale Hurston. With a striking new cover, this anthology captures the vibrancy -- and variety -- of New Orleans as it casts its most seductive spell.Contemporary Books
