Feet on the Street
I just finished Roy Blount's memoir published in February 2005. Though it is small, it took me a while to finish, mostly because I found it really sad.
I think Blount got much of New Orleans, right. But the New Orleans he knew in the 1960s as a cub reporter for the local paper, is as gone as the pre-K NOLA that his memoir is set in. He discusses the "what-if" possibility of a big storm hitting the city...a little too prescient for my stress levels.
I hope his book had good sales from February to August. Now it's just sad.
