Quarter Time is a love letter to the French Quarter. Its seven linked short stories recount the friendships and love affairs of the young and vulnerable Jake Devlin, the author's avatar, as he encounters the denizens of the French Quarter: petty thieves, barflies, and artists. A semi-fictional narrative based on firsthand experience, this book captures with heartbreaking candor the human landscape of a unique time and place: the Big Easy of the late 1950s and early '60s. The names of the main characters have been changed, but the events--bizarre and poignant--are factual.
