619. Part 1 of our interview with Rien Fertel. “I’m a Louisiana-born
and based writer and teacher. My most recent book, out September 2022, is
Brown Pelican, a human history of the very best bird. I’ve penned three
earlier books. The Drive-By Truckers’ Southern Rock Opera, #133 in
Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 series, about a road trip based on a recent classic
album about a road trip. The One True Barbecue: Fire, Smoke, and the Pitmasters Who Cook the Whole Hog, a personal/historical reflection on
race, labor, and foodways in the Deep South, came out in 2016 from Simon &
Schuster's Touchstone imprint. My first book, Imagining the Creole City,
an intellectual and literary study of a circle of writers in
nineteenth-century New Orleans, arrived in 2014.”
