Download or read book Feet on the Street written by Roy Blount, Jr. and published by Crown. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Betcha I can tell ya / Where ya / Got them shoooes. / Betchadollar, / Betchadollar, / Where ya / Got them shoooes. / Got your shoes on your feet, / Got your feet on the street, / And the street’s in Noo / Awlins, Loo- / Eez-ee-anna. Where I, for my part, first ate a live oyster and first saw a naked woman with the lights on. . . . Every time I go to New Orleans I am startled by something.” So writes Roy Blount Jr. in this exuberant, character-filled saunter through a place he has loved almost his entire life—a city “like no other place in America, and yet (or therefore) the cradle of American culture.” Here we experience it all through his eyes, ears, and taste buds: the architecture, music, romance (yes, sex too), historical characters, and all that glorious food. The book is divided into eight Rambles through different parts of the city. Each closes with lagniappe—a little bit extra, a special treat for the reader: here a brief riff on Gennifer Flowers, there a meditation on naked dancing. Roy Blount knows New Orleans like the inside of an oyster shell and is only too glad to take us to both the famous and the infamous sights. He captures all the wonderful and rich history—culinary, literary, and political—of a city that figured prominently in the lives of Jefferson Davis (who died there), Truman Capote (who was conceived there), Zora Neale Hurston (who studied voodoo there), and countless others, including Andrew Jackson, Lee Harvey Oswald, William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, Jelly Roll Morton, Napoléon, Walt Whitman, O. Henry, Thomas Wolfe, Earl Long, Randy Newman, Edgar Degas, Lillian Hellman, the Boswell Sisters, and the Dixie Cups. Above all, though, Feet on the Street is a celebration of friendship and joie de vivre in one of America’s greatest and most colorful cities, written by one of America’s most beloved humorists. Also available as a Random House AudioBook

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles Roundabout: And Poems If, according to the old proverb, those nations are the happiest which have no history, I think it may be stated with ven greater truth that those lives are happiest whose records are least full of incidents. Each man seeks his own happiness after his own fashion. But to me, from such observation as I have made, it does not seem that to have been an actor in great events; to have experienced many vicissitudes of fortune; to have known many men and many cities, adds much to the sum of human happiness. Be this as it may, there were few lives more devoid of incident; more uneventful; more even in the tenor of their way, than that of the author of these "Rambles Roundabout." Yet, looking back upon long years of intimate acquaintance and constant intercourse, I may say that I have never known any one to whom the epithet "Happy" might be more truly given. Such, I deem, must have been the impression left on the minds of all who knew him; and this record, brief and meagre as it necessarily is, would yet be wanting in its first duty, should it fail to convey - if the metaphor may be pardoned me - a certain reflection of the sunniness of a life so barren of events, so placid in its outward course. George James De Wilde was born in London in the year 1804. His family were of Dutch origin, his grandfather having emigrated from Holland during the troubles in the close of the last century. His father was a painter of considerable reputation ju his own line. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
