Armed with a major in handicapping racehorses and a minor in advanced 8-ball--thinly disguised as a B.A. in English from Tulane University--native son Angus Lind set out to become a hustler. Luckily, he also had an interest in journalism. In 42 years in newspapers, 39 at The States-Item and The Times-Picayune, he covered the biggest stories of the 1970s--the Hale Boggs plane crash in Alaska, the Downtown Howard Johnson sniper incident, the Rault Center fire, the Upstairs Lounge fire, and the construction of the Superdome. For the past 32 years as a columnist for the Living Section, he tapped out occasionally irreverent, sometimes amusing stories chronicling the eccentricities and human comedy that is New Orleans. He concentrated not on celebrities, but on the characters, rogues and regular people he is so attracted to, their dialogues and dialects--and discovered that almost everybody has a story to tell. As his readers know, Angus is the ultimate storyteller. From Buddy D's Dilibonics, Abdul D. Tentmakur, St. Henry's Church and Archbishop Hannan, to the "erster" dialect of our lovable Yats, memories of old Tulane Stadium and Fair Grounds characters such as Black Cat LaCombe, Angus Lind's columns and stories in The Times-Picayune kept readers in touch with the city's abnormal, unpredictable and often inexplicable pulse. Culled from almost 6,000 columns, you'll find Irma Thomas, Emperor of the Universe Ernie K-Doe, and the wacky world of Dr. Morgus all inside the covers of Prime Angus. So are Carnival supersleuth Deep Float and Karnak the Magnificent, keeper of mystic secrets about Tulane and LSU football. Take a look. "If I'm the duke of Dixieland, Angus was the court jester, entertaining his audience with the antics of New Orleans wackos, politicos, and regular Joes. Most mornings, I'd be getting home just as the paper hit my porch, so for me, Angus always got the last laugh of the day." --Pete Fountain

Join Dué Bonogura on his journey into that complicated, confusing, life-changing experience known as adolescence. One kiss removed him from the simple life of fishing and hanging out with his pals to the pursuit of something he absolutely did not understand. He did learn that jealousy and paranoia seemed to be an integral part of that process. But, as he was trying to sort through all of those emotions, he discovered the body of a murdered priest, his parish priest. And then the killer came after Dué. The locale is slightly north of the Gulf of Mexico and a tad south of the United States. It is in an experience we call New Orleans. If you are currently touring the planet puberty, you will look at your friends and schoolmates to see which one of them was the inspiration for Dué's character. If those years are in the past, but still in memory, Dué will make you smile. And if you have forgotten, you will remember.
