Mark Folse Livres

L'écriture de Mark Folse explore souvent le monde vibrant de la Nouvelle-Orléans, la ville qu'il appelle chez lui. Il considère la ponctuation comme une forme de notation musicale, montrant une affection particulière pour l'esperluette et les phrases en cascade, semblables à une cascade, rappelant Faulkner. Sa prose, inspirée en partie par ses expériences documentant l'ouragan Katrina, a été reconnue comme une influence sur la série HBO Treme. Le travail de Folse explore les thèmes de la Nouvelle-Orléans, de la littérature et de la folie, caractérisé par une voix unique et captivante qui attire les lecteurs dans son paysage littéraire complexe.

The collection of short essays in Carry Me Home begins as a lament for what in September 2005 looked to be the lost city of New Orleans. Over the following two-and-one-half years, these brief essays become a lyrical celebration of the city and the people, and a journal of a 20-year expatriate's decision to move home after the flood. Mark Folse is a former journalist who, after a twenty-year remove first to Washington, D.C. and later to the upper Midwest, returned with his family to the city of his birth. He currently resides in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans with his wife Rebecca, and their two children Killian and Matthew. He continues to chronicle his life in the city of New Orleans at his weblog Toulouse Street -- Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans (www.toulousestreet.net)
