“New Orleans (1970–2020): A Portrait of the City published by LUNA Press is both memoir and documentary — a half-century of Crescent City life captured through Dalt Wonk’s incisive essays and Josephine Sacabo’s arresting black-and-white photography. Together, their work illuminates the city’s texture: its beauty, contradictions, and the singular characters who shape its story.” — Richard Goodman
