The Battle of Danziger Bridge presents a collection of interlocking stories set in contemporary New Orleans dealing with dilemmas and questions of local and national urgency. The collection deploys a mix of male and female, black and white narrative voices in humor and pathos, some of whom narrate multiple stories or reappear as characters in other stories, creating a cacophonous effect of conflicting perspectives and values. This overlapping action and character give the collection the cohesiveness of a novel. The Battle explores themes of police brutality, post-Katrina redevelopment, the 2016 presidential election, gender relations, trauma, sports superstitions, the legacy of institutional racism, environmental catastrophe, and the alienating effects of technology-all themes relevant to the country's current cultural climate.
