Branching across every genre, from mystery and romance to flash fiction and prose poetry, this anthology of works by preeminent writers on the heart of New Orleans features a previously unpublished story by Tennessee Williams, as well as stories by Richard Ford, Ellen Gilchrist, Robert Olen Butler, Andrei Codrescu, Barry Gifford, Poppy Z. Brite, Julie Smith, John Biguenet, Nancy Lemann, and Valerie Martin, among others.The characters in these works find themselves everywhere from Sarajevo on the eve of the First World War to Algiers Point just across the Mississippi River, but their stories are all anchored in the French Quarter. They wander from the New World of the 18th century to a rooftop view of Bourbon Street on the cusp of the third millennium. Interspersed with the history of the city, these stories penetrate the standard clichés and reflect the true sense of the French Quarter—its sensuality, its mystery, and the fascinating life behind its walls.Whether surrealism or satire, these exceptional stories are without exception beautiful, poignant, tragic, and comic.
Joshua Clark is a fiction and travel writer, editor, photographer, and filmmaker. He lives in New Orleans, Louisiana.
