Bücher von John Shelton Reed

In the years following World War I, the New Orleans French Quarter attracted artists and writers with its low rents and colourful street life. A young William Faulkner resided among the "artful and crafty ones of the French Quarter." In Dixie Bohemia John Shelton Reed brings to life the people and places of New Orleans in the Jazz Age.

In the informal, engaging essays brought together in One South, John Shelton Reed focuses on the South's strong regional identity and on the persistence, well into the last decades if the twentieth century, of Southern cultural distinctiveness.
