THROUGH THE VIEUX FINDER
• • •
A Creative Close-Up of New Orleans
by Laura Kuhn
With a touch of the poet comes a collection of aesthetic vignettes written to capture the vital essence of a dream-laden city. "Through the Vieux Finder" conjures La Nouvelle Orléans and its infamous Vieux Carré (a.k.a. French Quarter) as an artistic wonderland of history, romance, and unique culture.
