Meet William Lafayette Holcomb">

Meet William Lafayette Holcomb, erstwhile Southern aristocrat—erudite, witty, storyteller without peer, and more often drunk than sober—as he strolls the streets of the Garden District with the author, relating one New Orleans’ melodrama after another. Join the author as she lunches at Café Atchafalaya to interview Miss Iler, its eccentric and outspoken proprietor. From the jewel of Buzz Harper’s manse to the end-of-the-road Rendezvous Tavern, this is a tour of New Orleans that is not likely to be in any guidebook., and proof, once again, that reality is frequently stranger—and more entertaining—than fiction.
