The people of New Orleans have always enjoyed a love affair with their city, and only when they came close of totally losing it-in the wake of Hurricane Katrina-did they truly give voice to their love. Now, two noted editors have called upon their friends from the Big Easy's literary establishment to pen this remarkable book-a |love letter| that takes us into this crazy and wonderful patchwork quilt of a city. With contributions from Poppy Z. Brite, JM Redmann, Victoria Brownworth and many others, this is a book not just to be read, but to be treasured.
