This well-worn copy of Lyle Saxon’s “Children of Strangers” is a fascinating time capsule from the golden age of Southern literature. Published in 1937 by Riverside Press, this volume offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of the diverse communities that shaped New Orleans in the early 20th century. Saxon, a celebrated journalist and author, was renowned for his vivid depictions of the city’s rich cultural tapestry, weaving together tales of Creole aristocrats, Cajun folk, and the vibrant African American community. Through his lyrical prose and keen observational eye, he captured the essence of a city where tradition and modernity collided, creating a unique melting pot of influences.
