Books about New Orleans?

[ludocris]

I'll be visiting the Big Easy next month and would love to find out more about its history. Can anyone recommend any books - either fiction or non-fiction? I've already read the Anne Rice vampire series.

Haha no books but I’m a big fan of “The Big Easy” film and 90s TV series 😂 (you could turn subtitles on and read at the same time to make it more book like 🙃).

Confederacy of Dunces

Streetcar Named Desire

Desiree’s Baby - not New Orleans, but Louisiana

Not a book, but a TV series - Treme

Here's an article with a few that look great:

Treme is fantastic. TV series by the writer of The Wire (but v different) and shows all aspects of NO. It’s brill and the music is so good. Don’t miss it!

I have no book reccs but will be checking out some on the guardian’s suggestion. Just wanted to say enjoy NOLA! One of the best places in the world

Thanks everyone!

Well the Interview with a Vampire series by Anne Rice of course 😂
