Winner of the 2007 Welty Prize In 1960, Jon Edgar and Louise "Gypsy
Lou" Webb founded Loujon Press on Royal Street in New Orleans's
French Quarter. The small publishing house quickly became a giant.
Heralded by the Village Voice and the New York Times as one of the
best of its day, the Outsider, the press's literary review,
featured, among others, Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence
Ferlinghetti, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov, and Walter
Lowenfels. Loujon published books by Henry Miller and two early
poetry collections by Bukowski. Bohemian New Orleans traces the
development of this courageous imprint and examines its place
within the small press revolution of the 1960s. Drawing on
correspondence from many who were published in the Outsider, back
issues of the Outsider, contemporary reviews, promotional
materials, and interviews, Jeff Weddle shows how the press's
mandarin insistence on production quality and its eclectic
editorial taste made its work nonpareil among peers in the
underground. Throughout, Bohemian New Orleans reveals the messy,
complex, and vagabond spirit of a lost literary age.
