Muse Is Always Half-Dressed in New Orleans and Other Essays
This is the second time I have read this collection of short essays...the first time was about 12 years ago. While I remember the general sense of the stories, it always amazes me how life and experience adds a new dimension. Would I have ever imagined I would have travelled and lived in Europe to make these short essays truly come to life 12 years ago...hardly.
I now remember the roots of my interest with Eastern Europe...the Romanian author spends a good deal discussing his childhood and politics. His view of the world and experience in the States as an outsider looking in resonated with me in my youth as a 2nd generation immigrant...but even more so that I have lived here and spoken to a few people who remember the times before the wall fell.
Truly a great writer in the sense of style and breadth of content in the short stories.
