The Second Line, "full of pathos and humor"-- The San Francisco Chronicle

It is the year 2020 and New Orleans is swinging again. The last second line street parade before the start of hurricane season is just simmering down. An eclectic cast of only in New Orleans characters, regulars of the Good Favor Social Aid and Pleasure Club, gather to call on the spirit of Papa Fat, the griot ghost. Papa Fat enters the body of an unsuspecting young spoken word poet and tells the tale of a surreal bus ride through the streets of New Orleans, The City That Care Forgot. Featuring lyrical rhymed and metered prose, and including spoken word poetry, storytelling, sketch comedy, blues and hip hop song, The Second Line is an epic parade through the spirit of New Orleans. This book includes a Glossary of New Orleans Terms to Know, a fascinating list of 250 facts, places, and people that make the Big Easy an unforgettable city.
