  Vivid vignettes rich with the sights, sounds, and tastes of New Orleans: “A worthy contribution to the library of books celebrating life in the Big Easy.” —Times-Picayune Offering innovative insights into such New Orleans mainstays as Carnival and the Quarter, as well as food, music, sports, politics, history, and more, Errol Laborde provides a look at aspects of Crescent City living usually reserved for residents. The essays include an Orleanian ode entitled “In Praise of the Potato Poor Boy” and several explorations and explanations of Mr. Bingle, the only symbol of Christmas that is unique to New Orleans. These eighty-one vignettes originally appeared in Laborde’s Streetcar column, which currently runs in New Orleans Magazine.  “Strung together like a handful of Mardi Gras beads thrown from a passing float, Laborde’s tales reveal the bright and beautiful as well as the dim and gaudy sides of the city.” —Southern Living

  Carsick - John Waters Hitchhikes...

  A cross-country hitchhiking journey with America's most beloved weirdo. 
  John Waters is putting his life on the line. Armed with wit, a pencil-thin mustache, and a cardboard sign that reads "I'm Not Psycho," he hitchhikes across America from Baltimore to San Francisco, braving lonely roads and treacherous drivers. But who should we be more worried about, the delicate film director with genteel manners or the unsuspecting travelers transporting the Pope of Trash? 
  Before he leaves for this bizarre adventure, Waters fantasizes about the best and worst possible scenarios: a friendly drug dealer hands over piles of cash to finance films with no questions asked, a demolition-derby driver makes a filthy sexual request in the middle of a race, a gun-toting drunk terrorizes and holds him hostage, and a Kansas vice squad entraps and throws him in jail. So what really happens when this cult legend sticks out his thumb and faces the open road? His real-life rides include a gentle eighty-one-year-old farmer who is convinced Waters is a hobo, an indie band on tour, and the perverse filmmaker's unexpected hero: a young, sandy-haired Republican in a Corvette. 
  Laced with subversive humor and warm intelligence, Carsick is an unforgettable vacation with a wickedly funny companion-and a celebration of America's weird, astonishing, and generous citizenry.A Macmillan Audio production.

  Sea and Sardinia 
    
  by D.H.Lawrence 
    
  Narrated by Phil Benson 
    
  At the end of World War 1, D. H. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda (‘the queen bee’), exiled themselves from England and set up home in Sicily. On the spur of the moment, Lawrence proposed a short trip to Sardinia. Setting off before dawn, they embarked on a whirlwind tour, by train to Palermo, ferry to Cagliari, and by train and bus to Terranova, returning to Rome by ferry. Back in Sicily Lawrence wrote Sea and Sardinia, one of the great travel journals of the twentieth century, in six weeks and entirely from memory. Alternately enthusiastic and grumpy, but always effusive, Lawrence’s journal sparkles with observations of the day-to-day detail of travel and characters encountered on the way
