Divided into eight Rambles through different parts of the city, the book covers it all: the architecture, music, romance, historical characters (including Walt Whitman and Chuck Berry) and the food. Each Ramble closes with a lagniappe -- an extra treat for the reader such as a riff on Gennifer Flowers or a meditation on naked dancing -- that shows us why New Orleans, as Roy sees it, is a city like no other place in America, and yet (or therefore) the cradle of American culture.   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
