Odd Fellow's Rest: A Novel
(Jul 1, 2010
release)
A group of linked narratives about the gay demimonde
in New Orleans before the flood, Odd Fellow's Rest is a debut
book from a promising new talent. Circles of friends and
acquaintances—lawyers and supermarket clerks, drifters, painters and
musicians, cabaret singers and writers—alternately dominate the landscape
and fade into the background. However they identify themselves, they speak
a common language—funny, sexy, pithy, sometimes bitchy, and always on
target.
But perhaps the main character is the city itself. A litany of street
names evoke New Orleans' visceral hold on these men; even when they are
far away, the memory of the city haunts them. William Sterling Walker's
vividly imagined creations embody the unquenchable spirit of place that
would go on to survive unimaginable natural disasters, both physical and
personal. Like the city, his characters are unforgettable in their
boldness and fascination.
