Produktbeschreibung
This New Orleans cult classic of magic realism has been out of print for years, but as its following continues to grow, The Sound of Building Coffins sees print once again in this first-ever paperback edition--expanded with over a hundred pages of previously unpublished material from the original manuscript. Originally published in 2009 by a small press, the title sold over 4500 copies in hardback, before the publisher sold and changed their focus and no paperback was ever issued. The book has been enlarged for this edition to encompass the author's original vision. "Louis Maistros has written a lyrical, complex, and brave novel that takes enormous risks and pulls them all off. He is a writer to watch and keep reading, a writer to cherish." --Peter Straub
Autorenporträt
Louis Maistros is a longtime resident of the New Orleans 8th Ward neighborhood. His work has appeared in publications such as the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Relix Magazine, the Baltimore City Paper, Entrepot, and many others. He is also an accomplished art photographer, and has been called a wizard with light, shadows, and colors by Louisiana Poet Laureate Julie Kane. He is mildly self-conscious about the fact that he shares a birthday with Lee Harvey Oswald, and is currently working out a conspiracy theory about that -- in the form of a novel-in-progress tentatively entitled Holy Meaux.
