N.O. Drugstore is located at the improbable intersection of South
Claiborne Avenue and South Carrollton Avenue in New Orleans. Its
idiosyncratic clientele draws as much from mostly poor-black
Pigeontown as it does from the mostly rich-white University
section. And no one knows this better than the three people who man
the pharmacy on even days of the month. As different in style and
temperament as their customers, Luciana Jambon, Lennon Israel, and
Vendetta Greene are the protagonists of this story. Told in third
person from their alternating points of view, "Side Effects plays
out their respective family feuds, usually somewhere between the
Seasonal Specials and the Depends aisles. Corralled as they are
with one another twelve hours a day, romance and splendid
friendship blossom among Luciana, Lennon, and Vendetta, because
it's really only a low counter that separates them from everyone
else.
A darkly comic novel about personal triage in the face of life's
odds-the odds of genetics, of finding and keeping love, and of
rescue and survival.. Anna Riggs Duffy and her husband, George,
live in New Orleans with their two very different identical twins.
One day there is a tragic accident, and Anna can save only one of
the boys. In their grief, George turns to another woman while Anna
turns to the slot machines in the waterfront casinos. How will she
win George back, and does she really want to, anyway? In Odds,
Patty Friedmann explores the darker sides of humor, love, and
family.
A zany, disturbing novel set amid the splendors and excesses of New
Orleans.. Eleanor Rushing is a first-person narrative tour de
force. While Eleanor is blessed with acute powers of observation
and the ability to remember everything, her recollections and
impressions are nevertheless often at odds with those of the people
around her. As her "relationship" with a local married Methodist
minister spins out of control, the loquacious and endearing Eleanor
manages to charm us completely. Even as we begin to realize that
surviving a childhood marred by tragedy has exacted a terrible
toll, we can't help being her willing and faithful admirers.
