"I don't know what's in the drinking water down there,
but the people associated with the Louisiana Book Festival
- organizers and attendees - might be the nicest folks in America.
I do know what's in the air enveloping Baton Rouge:
muffuletta, jambalaya, étouffee, crawfish poor boy, gumbo.
Between the literature and food and camaraderie, it's not easy leaving."
- George Singleton, author
