Ned Sublette was born in Lubbock, Texas, but the heart of this author, composer, and musician really belongs to New Orleans. Ever since his first contacts with the city in the segregationist '50s, he has been fascinated by its varied musical traditions, its shadowy cafes and bustling street life. He wrote movingly on the city's complex cultural inheritance in The World That Made New Orleans, which was named the Louisiana Endowment's 2009 Humanities Book of the Year. Now, in his most Ned Sublette was born in Lubbock, Texas, but the heart of this author, composer, and musician really belongs to New Orleans. Ever since his first contacts with the city in the segregationist '50s, he has been fascinated by its varied musical traditions, its shadowy cafes and bustling street life. He wrote movingly on the city's complex cultural inheritance in The World That Made New Orleans, which was named the Louisiana Endowment's 2009 Humanities Book of the Year. Now, in his most personal book yet, he wanders lovingly through the Crescent City "before the flood," before Hurricane Katrina changed it irreparably.
