New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence by Richard Sexton
-mostly because I discovered New Orleans in 1993, the year this was published. It was the first book to grab my attention.
Robert Tallant is the premier New Orleans historical author.
Bellocq: Photographs from Storyville
New Orleans, Mon Amour by Andrei Condrescu
Heart Like Water by Joshua Clark
-the narrator ended up annoying me, but it’s a good record.
Huey Long by T. Harry Williams
Books I haven’t read completely or at all but typically regarded as important:
