New Orleans

New Orleans is a travelogue, written during the Circuit Breaker, about a trip to the American city in October 2019. A Singaporean writer and an Argentinian playwright-director wander the streets of the French Quarter, being sober in a party town, singing on Bourbon Street, not gambling in casinos, dodging alligators in the bayou. It all ends with a gate-crash of Tennessee Williams’ house. Along the way, some observations are made of art, friendship and being alive.

I’m not a fan of travel writing, but New Orleans sidesteps both #wanderlust clichés and the self-indulgence that often creeps into autobiographical work.
