The
Letters from New Orleans will “hit bookstores,”
as they say in the trade, in June. So here is your chance to attain
bleeding-edge, early adopter, tastemaker status.
The
Letter From New Orleans — "pointless, sporadic,
and free" — began as a bunch of emails
to interested parties, from New Orleans. This soft-cover book
includes all the Letters, as well as some additional material.
Here are
selected excerpts from the blurbs for Letters
from New Orleans. To read the full blurbs – buy
the book!
This book
is far more than a poetic testament to a strange and wonderful
town. … I recommend it to anyone who feels life
is going by too fast.
—Po Bronson, author of What
Should I Do With My Life?
Rob Walker
… has managed to make New Orleans — a city that has
been documented and written about for centuries — seem completely
fresh and unfamiliar and wholly compelling.
— David Rakoff, author of FRAUD
As
wistful as absinthe, as funky as a muffuletta at a joint
off Tchoupitoulas.
— Jed Horne, author of Desire
Street, a True Story of Death and Deliverance in New Orleans
Subjects covered
in Letters From New Orleans include: Celebratory gunfire,
rich people, religion, the riddle of race relations in our time,
robots, fine dining, drunkenness, urban decay,
debutantes, the nature of identity, Gennifer
Flowers, the song "St. James Infirmary," and mortality.
Thank you.
