Author Dalt Wonk’s Spiritual Gifts.

Karl Lengel, WWNO, November 29, 2018

“The French Quarter has been a cultural crossroads of the world for centuries. Its streets, alleys and buildings have provided a background for multitudes of stories, both fiction and non-fiction, that have chronicled the passages of time, lives and spirits. New Orleans’ writer Dalt Wonk, a French Quarter icon, has lived there most of his life and offers a brand new volume of stories that reflect the neighborhood’s unique charm, appropriately titled, Spiritual Gifts: French Quarter Short Stories. WWNO’s Karl Lengel sat down with Dalt to talk about the book.”

“Our 2018 Book Recommendations” by Chris Turner-Neal

Country Roads Magazine, December 2018

“One of the most important skills any person can develop is to eavesdrop well. If you can gaze vacantly at a paperback while skimming the conversations around you like radio stations, you’ll seldom have a dull flight. (The paperback is essential; the last thing you want to have happen is that someone you’re trying to eavesdrop on actually addresses you.) If you can master this feat, the world is your Scheherazade; prison stints, miscarriages, failed loves, alcoholic binges, dramatic resignations, ashtray-throwing breakups, and any other human drama you can imagine will be described within eight feet of you if you but look nonthreatening and hide behind a novel.
