""Where We Know" creates a mosaic of the ultimate mosaic
city...these writers illuminate the city's past and the present in
a gritty homage fit for natives and foreigners alike. Designed as
though Chin Music Press/Broken Levee Books intends to
singlehandedly resurrect the art of bookmaking, "Where We Know" is
a book you'll want at your bedside and on your coffee table."
--Lucia Silva, "NPR"
"Rutledge (English, Univ. of New Orleans) shows himself, in an
introduction both touching and sincere, to understand fully the
city and its struggles, to love New Orleans for what it is and what
it can be, what it means both to those who decided to stay and
those who left." --"Library Journal"
""Where We Know" is a must for anyone who wants a more excellent
understanding of the tenacity of the people of New Orleans." --"The
Midwest Book Review"
Five years after Katrina, New Orleans is still limping. This second
book of a planned trilogy looks at both those who stayed on and
rebuilt their lives in New Orleans and those who had to say
goodbye. It also weaves in historical references and quotes from
Louis Armstrong, Lafcadio Hearn, and many others. What emerges is a
book that shows how lovers of New Orleans have always battled with
its darker side, and how the people's knack for celebrating an
impromptu second line goes hand in hand with their acknowledgment
of the ghosts in their midst.
