I don't get to travel much anymore, so I grabbed this collection of stories off the dusty nether regions of my shelf. Interesting mix of stories set solely in New Orleans' Vieux Carré, so I should say something here—the one time I visited New Orleans, I stayed out of the Quarter because I knew the other neighborhoods were more compelling and richer than the tourist trap Quarter, so I suppose I read it with the hope of a wider view of New Orleans. Oh well, I guess I'll seek out a different book. This was nonetheless fun.
