The definitive literary portrait of the capital of Southern belles lettres including illuminating vignettes of fact and fiction. New Orleans is a melting pot that has been stirred by French, Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences. From the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the Vieux Carre, the sombre elegance of the Garden District, and the bayous and banks of the Mississippi River to the above-ground St. Louis Cemetery, sexy steamy Storyville, and Tin Pan Alley, the Crescent City is one of the longest running literary salons in American history. It is also a city of many contradictions, mysteries, and surprises that have been celebrated the world over. Whether born there or simply passing through, writers have been inspired by New Orleans for centuries, and, in the pages of this book, her stories are finally told.

New Orleans is a melting pot that has been stirred by French, Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences. Once the fourth-largest city in America and largest city in the South, the Crescent City embodies many contradictions. It is at once a nationally-treasured architectural museum and a mix of odd decay and free-spirited play. In Literary New Orleans, the city rightfully claims its place as city whose writers are to be celebrated. Media ><
