I'm a ...Jamie, reading your review gave me chills. I'm a Yankee who has never been to New Orleans, although I have always wanted to go, and I cannot imagine what it was like and still is like for you and your fellow citizens. I remember watching CNN for days and sitting on my couch, just crying and crying at the images and people on my screen. I still cry about it. <BR/><BR/>I don't know what I would do if something catastrophic were to happen to Philadelphia, because I love my city and it is so much a part of who I am. What I do know is that you have made me want to go out and buy this book, immediately.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889329308648324044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123848.post-65985345644144775242008-10-29T12:14:00.000-07:002008-10-29T12:14:00.000-07:00Dear Jamie, Thanks so much for buying, reading and...Dear Jamie, <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for buying, reading and now writing about my book. <BR/><BR/>This was my first book, and I was nauseatingly anxious about how it would be received, especially by New Orleans people who had lived through the same experience. The response has been so rewarding and encouraging, and I'm very grateful to hear the story is making an impact on people. I've heard about tears, but also laughter from readers, which makes sense because if we could not wring some humor, even gallows humor, from that time it might have crushed us. <BR/><BR/>Long live Finn McCool's, which is better than ever. Mid-City is vibrant once more. I'm so glad I've been given the chance to document and share that bizarre, twisted chapter of our beautiful city's history, and I'm very glad it is history.<BR/> <BR/>Thanks again for writing, and I do still owe you a candle, <BR/>Ian <BR/>www.seasonofnight.com/newsIan McNultyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930924931804746501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123848.post-46518366132147042742008-10-24T10:26:00.000-07:002008-10-24T10:26:00.000-07:00I don't know if I could read that book, Jamiepants...I don't know if I could read that book, Jamiepants. Just reading this made me cry. You're right - those of us not directly affected, forget that it's still going on EVERY DAY for all of you. <BR/><BR/>I may try to give it a read, but don't be surprised if you get bawling, sappy messages from me while I'm reading it.Laineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233452153258897072noreply@blogger.com
