Stesha’s Reviews > Creoles and Cajuns: Stories of Old Louisiana > Status Update

I loved “Madame Delphine” and “Carancro”.

I was going to say, "Je déteste les Americains", mais some of those bêtes were Creole >:<

I really liked "Jean-ah Poquelin"... I really like GWC's attention to dialects and accents... that, sometimes, uncomfortable meeting of the Creole and American worlds. This story is also highly atmospheric... maybe a bit more than his other stories. I want old Louisiana to come alive, and Cable delivers.

"A Building and Improvement Company," which had not yet got its charter, "but was going to," and which had not, indeed, any tangible capital yet, but "was going to have some," joined the "Jean-ah Poquelin" war." (P. 112)

Haha... New Orleans has been New Orleansing since time began
