“‘New Orleans (1970–2020): A Portrait of the City’ published by LUNA Press is both memoir and documentary — a half-century of Crescent City life captured through Dalt Wonk’s incisive essays and Josephine Sacabo’s arresting black-and-white photography. Together, their work illuminates the city’s texture: its beauty, contradictions, and the singular characters who shape its story.”
— Richard Goodman
Many thanks to Richard Goodman, Ellis Anderson, and French Quarter Journal for their recent feature on New Orleans (1970-2020): A Portrait of the City.
