New Orleans, Mon Amour: Twenty Years of Writings from the City by Andrei Codrescu

5.0

I adore this book. I fell in love with New Orleans the first time I visited, and the essays in this book brought me back there almost achingly. Andrei Codrescu's language perfectly captures what is so captivating about the city itself, and the language itself is also captivating. The essays are part poetry, part politics, part dream and part harsh reality, and 100% life.
