Louisiana Rogue

"New picaresque tale Louisiana Rogue falls in the tradition of rogue literature established by Tom Jones and other early novels."

TotalRecall Publications, Inc., announced today the publication of ‘Louisiana Rogue,’ a peripatetic or picaresque story in the tradition of rogue literature established by Henry Fielding’s ‘Tom Jones’ and other early English novels in the 1700s.
A tale told in the first person, Louisiana Rogue recounts “The Life and Times of Pierre Prospère-Tourmoulin, Picketpocket, Thief, Gambler, Fugitive, Undertaker, Barber, Doctor, Priest, Prisoner, Bandit, and Count.” The book gives readers an understanding of the cultural history of New Orleans and Cajun society during the years 1831 – 1839.
