Gestern habe ich beim Heimfahren Coraline beendet, es hat mir gut gefallen und war eigentlich ganz gruselig. Es ist ein Kinderbuch, also werde ich mir den nächsten Neil Gaiman dann mit einem "Erwachsenen"-Buch vornehmen. Coraline hat mir auch im Film sehr gut gefallen.
Begonnen habe ich dann mit einer weiteren Stadt für mein Projekt 2017. Dieses Mal führt mich die Reise nach New Orleans, in die Zeit zwischen 1890 bis 1920, und es geht um Prostitution, Lynchjustiz, der Entstehung des Jazz, Mafia und Rassenkämpfe und um Politik. Ein Stück Zeitgeschichte wie sich New Orleans entwickelt hat.
Mein Städtebuch:
Gary KRIST
Empire of Sin
Empire of Sin
A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder,
and te Battle for Modern New Orleans
Description: From bestselling author Gary Krist, a vibrant and immersive account of New Orleans’ other civil war, at a time when commercialized vice, jazz culture, and endemic crime defined the battlegrounds of the Crescent City
Empire of Sin re-creates the remarkable story of New Orleans’ thirty-years war against itself, pitting the city’s elite “better half” against ist powerful and long-entrenched underworld of vice, perversity, and crime. This early-20th-century battle centers on one man: Tom Anderson, the undisputed czar of the city's Storyville vice district, who fights desperately to keep his empire intact as it faces onslaughts from all sides. Surrounding him are the stories of flamboyant prostitutes, crusading moral reformers, dissolute jazzmen, ruthless Mafiosi, venal politicians, and one extremely violent serial killer, all battling for primacy in a wild and wicked city unlike any other in the world.
