556. Richard Sexton and Randolph Delehanty
b'
556. Today we talk with Richard Sexton and Randolf Delehanty about the 2nd edition of their classic work, New\\n Orleans: Elegance and Decadence. The book focuses on the\\n interiors, furnishings, art collections, and gardens of a\\n handful of creative people in New Orleans in the 1990s. Dreamers\\n and urban pioneers, they included bohemian artists, artisans,\\n architects, preservationists, activists, antiquarians,\\n restaurateurs, and teachers, all living outside the American\\n mainstream. They tolerated crumbling plaster, exposed lathe, and\\n sagging galleries in exchange for communal festivity and joie de\\n vivre. Richard is returning to the Podcast after an earlier\\n visit when we discussed his book, Creole\\n\\n World.
