The Last Hayride
by John Maginnis

It's about Edwin Edwards 1983 election. I hate Edwards but it was well written and funny. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

If you are looking for Folk Lore books about LA try Louisiana Potpourri. The author also wrote a book about the History of New Orleans.
