Rose Ivy lives in North Carolina

Guest Post:
The
setting of New Orleans
plays a large part in the story of Flight. So many of Allie’s experiences are
unique to the city. Flight is only one of many books set in the Crescent City, here are my five favorites.
1)
Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole- Such a great read with lots of
laughs. It’s hard to believe it wasn’t a success until after the author’s
death.
2)
Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice- It’s hard to talk about New Orleans books without mentioning this
one.
3)
The Awakening by Kate Chopin – Loved this one in college when I read it for one
of my lit classes.
4) The Pelican Brief by John Grisham–It’s my
favorite legal thriller. Although it isn’t all set in New Orleans, some of the early scenes take
place on the campus where I went to college.
5)
A Street Car Named Desire by Tennessee Williams- Okay so this is actually a
play, but it was one of the first literary pieces I read that made me curious
about New Orleans. Such a classic.

I've been hearing the best reviews about Flight. I love Alyssa's list of favorite N.O. books. I used to live very close to Kate Chopin's home, so that's cool to see here.
