The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square by Ned Sublette
My review
Wow, the discussions about the semiotics of the street names in the first pages is blowing my mind. Genius
View all my reviews.
but also shaking different literary foundations is that I am reading it on the Kindle app for the iPhone, which I totally get now. I still think the Kindle device is a bit myopic in what it does, but the ebook experience so far is quite satisfactory.
I'm currently reading this for my thesis and it's been nothing short of revelatory at times. I can't wait for his next book to come out, which seems to pick up where this one leaves off.
