When Norbert Elliot graduated from his New Orleans Catholic grammar school in 1966, he was determined to claw himself free from his family and the place they called home. Interlacing the history of one of America’s iconic cities with his childhood memories, Elliot explores two hundred and fifty years of intentional cruelty and promised charity.
With a focus on disposable lives, his memoir calls into question traditional views of family and home, and asks us to imagine the freedom of lives lived on the delicate line between what can, and cannot, be.
