I think it's hit or miss. I don't think it was that great and I lived in NOLA for 25 years. Others love it and it's on some Top 100 greatest novels ever lists.
One thing is that I generally am not enamored with humor novels....same jokes for 300 pages.

Swine Palace did a performance of Confederacy when I was at LSU. I fell in love instantly.

I've read it a few times and enjoyed it but I really think it's pseudo intellectual chic to drool over it because the real story that most lay morons don't get is "between the lines"
