Booklist singled out Steve De Jarnatt's "Ribiaux Rising" for special notice in their review of The Best American Short Stories 2009:

"....a powerful and ironic piece set in the midst of Hurricane Katrina."

I have no idea where it first appeared but it's nice to see it make it into the new volume (along with Annie Proulx, Richard Powers and Jill McCorkle among many others.)

About this blog

After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
