Mark Folse Libros

La escritura de Mark Folse profundiza a menudo en el vibrante mundo de Nueva Orleans, la ciudad que él llama hogar. Considera la puntuación como una forma de notación musical, mostrando una particular predilección por el ampersand y las frases en cascada, similares a una cascada, que recuerdan a Faulkner. Su prosa, inspirada en parte por sus experiencias documentando el huracán Katrina, ha sido reconocida como una influencia en la serie de HBO Treme. El trabajo de Folse explora temas de Nueva Orleans, literatura y locura, caracterizado por una voz única y cautivadora que atrae a los lectores a su intrincado paisaje literario.

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)
