Jack Woodville London — Book Review: Virginia's War
Anyone who has lived in a small town, particularly one in Texas, will recognize the trappings of existing in such a fishbowl in the lives and characters of Jack Woodville London's Tierra, Texas, in the first book of his French Letters trilogy, Virginia's War: Tierra, Texas 1944. Just like those of everyone else in America, the lives of Tierra residents were wrapped up in World War II during the early 1940s.

Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans
In January 2007, as many in the media gave in to their own Katrina
fatigue and left New Orleans to its own devices, The New Yorker
sent down writer Dan Baum to begin a chatty Web feature called "New
Orleans Journal." For six months, Baum and his wife Margaret chronicled
the city from a rented house in the Faubourg Marigny, sending out two
important messages from New Orleans to The New Yorker
readership: We are not destroyed, and yet we are not OK.

Signs of New Orleans
New Orleanians may be familiar with
award-winning graphic designer Tom Varisco and his labor of love,
Desire. For years, he's produced the short (generally eight to
16 pages) journal of missives on New Orleans subjects, with
over-the-top design and fanciful text treatment.

A Season of Night
"There is nothing so exhilarating as to be shot at without result," said Winston Churchill in The Story of the Malakand Field Force, an account of his military service in a border war in India. It also sums up the spirit of A Season of Night: New Orleans Life After Katrina by Ian McNulty, who also serves as Gambit Weekly's restaurant critic.
