Bourbon Street: The Dreams of Aeneas in Dixie

David B. Lentz

4.9/5 (22571 ratings)

Description:Epic "Bourbon Street" portrays the rise of a gifted, young and penniless photographer named Aeneas who wanders Bourbon Street to photograph in black-and-white the images of ancient, legendary jazz players. Discovered by an Uptown debutante, Aeneas transforms into a portrait photographer of New Orleans' aristocracy. "Bourbon Street" is a gallery of vivid portraits of the chimeras of Aeneas. Illuminating, white hot comedy and dark, existential contrasts blend pixels into fine prose about the quest for a better life based upon one's dreams. "Bourbon Street" beckons you to the gallery of the dreams of Aeneas in the French Quarter of New Orleans."Told through the vehicle of the tale, it is like a street-car rattling past the bars and drunks and jazz and creeping vegetation, the lonely souls, the nectar-draw of sex, the steaks and bourbons, that combine to make 'Bourbon Street' a wonderful book and cement the place of Lentz as a writer of formidable scope and ability." - Bruce McLaren, Author of "The Plain of Dead Cities" "Lentz will go down in history as a great writer whose work will transcend time. Lentz is an exceptionally talented wordsmith. Through his august body of work he constantly strives to reshape dialogue on what constitutes great literature while hammering his own work, like the artist he is, forever pounding at the forge of public opinion with the fierce heat of his incredibly rich mind." – Goodreads"A journey: if you know what it means to miss New Orleans, then you really should read this book." -- Yvonne LaFleur "Lentz has a talent for blending a compelling story line with pathos and humor, a measure of literary and historical allusion, and vivid imagery. The result is the literary equivalent of high definition -- the reader is bombarded with rich text that infuses the senses." -- The Greenwich Post "His pixilism is a sort of 21st century, digital metaphor that has similarities to French Impressionist paintings. Each sentence represents an idea, image or treatment of the big picture." -- The Redding Pilot "Lentz especially likes to explore how creative people survive and contribute in a large and often impersonal environment. What is the role of a talented individual, an artist for example, in a complex, vast society?" -- New Canaan Advertiser "His writing is different because he does not manufacture cookie-cutter best-sellers." -- The Wilton Bulletin "Lentz's approach to writing is soul driven." -- The Weston Forum "Hot as a New Orleans' summer." -- John A.
