    577. Brooke Champagne. "NOLA Face"
    Jun 8 2024
    577. We talk to Brooke Champagne about her book, Nola Face: A Latina’s Life in the Big Easy. "A memoir-in-essays of a New Orleanian author’s search for identity in an upbringing complicated by competing languages, ethnicities, classes, and educations . . . . The hilarious, heartbreaking essays in this collection trace the evolutions of this girlhood . . . against the backdrop of a boozy New Orleans upbringing. In these essays, Champagne and members of her family love poorly and hate well, whip and get whipped, pray and curse in two languages, steal from The Man and give to themselves, kiss where it hurts, poke where it hurts worse, and keep and spill each other’s secrets—first face-to-face, then on the page." U. GA. Pr.
