NEW ORLEANS NOVELS

During this discussion, New Orleans fiction writers C. Morgan Babst, Alex Jennings, and E.M. Tran join moderator Megan Holt to explore the concept of the New Orleans novel.

It will also highlight the ever-changing idea of what a “New Orleans novel” is and how this idea has evolved in the first 25 years of the 21st century.
