Published in 1879, this collection consists of seven short stories portraying Creole life in New Orleans. While glamorizing an exotic and enticing city, Cable also introduces social satire to round out the picture of this incredibly diverse locale. The stories are notable for their easy humor, lack of sentimentality, and pioneering use of dialect.
Mengenai Pengarang
George Washington Cable (1844-1925), after fighting for the Confederacy in the Civil War, wrote about his native Louisiana in realist novels. His anti-racist and pro-civil rights attitudes eventually brought him to the north. Novels such as Old Creole Days, The Grandissimes, and Madame Delphine are often cited as forerunners of the work of William Faulkner.
