New Orleans is an indispensable element of America's national
identity. As one of the most fabled cities in the world, it figures
in countless novels, short stories, poems, plays, and films, as
well as in popular lore and song. This book provides detailed
discussions of all of the most significant writing that this city
has ever inspired - from its origins in a flood-prone swamp to the
rise of a creole culture at the edges of the European empires; from
its emergence as a cosmopolitan, hemispheric crossroads and a
primary hub of the slave trade to the days when, in its red light
district, the children and grandchildren of the enslaved conjured a
new kind of music that became America's greatest gift to the world;
from the mid-twentieth-century masterpieces by William Faulkner,
Tennessee Williams and Walker Percy to the realms of folklore, hip
hop, vampire fiction, and the Asian and Latin American archives.
