The original Double Dealer was founded by Albert Goldstein, Julius Weiss Friend, John McClure, and Basil Thompson, along with dedicated Louisiana guarantors, who were tired of hearing the South described as a literary backwater by Eastern Establishment critics, including notably H. L. Menken, who later became a cheerleader for the journal. The Society’s goals in re-establishing the journal were to provide a forum showcasing developing writers alongside established authors and to provide educational resources for writers and teachers. William Faulkner was just a young man when he came to New Orleans and found his muse as a novelist. He was 27 when he wrote his first novel, Soldiers’ Pay, in the room that now houses Faulkner House Books on the ground floor of 624 Pirate’s Alley. He worried about the same things developing writers worry about today. Will I get it right? Will a publisher think I got it right? Will anyone remember what I have written after I am gone? Is it all for naught? He found strength in the freedom of our city’s laid back, easygoing society and the concurrent heartfelt nurturing he found in New Orleans, support he needed to become America’s most celebrated fiction writer. To all the readers visiting the pages of the 2014 Double Dealer we hope you will enjoy the talent exhibited by contributors. As for writers, we hope you find your way to New Orleans and here find a dose of the same kind of nurturing and inspiration Mr. Faulkner found. Cover Art: Hermes by Alan Gerson Hermes by Alan Gerson is the cover image for Randy Fertel's, the new, definitive book on improvisation in the arts, A Taste for Chaos. Randy’s new book inspired the 2014 theme for Words & Music, 2014 at which he was Keynote speaker. Artist Alan Gerson, a “recovering attorney,” received his MFA from UNO in 1980 and was the visual arts director for the Contemporary Arts Center before receiving his law degree from Tulane. After three years in practice, he “wised up” and returned to art. He’s had one-man shows in New Orleans, New York, Santa Fe, Miami, and Pasadena and has participated in group shows nationally and abroad. He was a prize-winner at the 2000 Florence Biennale. His work is in the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum for Southern Art, and many distinguished private collections. Described as dreamlike, highly personal, and imagined, his work is sophisticated, frequently with a “faux naive” approach with aspects of both the real world and an imaginary universe. His “goofy guy” character present in many of his paintings, at times only in spirit, is a teeth-grinding everyman/woman dropped into a world he or she is barely capable of understanding. In 2011, Alan’s por- trait of Mr. Faulkner conjured the Nobel Laureate as he liked to imagine himself from time to time, a country gentleman riding to the hounds, refreshing his spirit with a Jack Daniels Julep. The painting was auctioned to benefit the Faulkner Society’s literacy projects for at-risk teenagers and continuing lter- ary Education for adults. Alan and his work sum up the originality in art that results from individual improvisation, building on but departing what has gone before.

    Saxon, Lyle Chambers (1891-1946) by Roberts Batson

    Saxon, Lyle Chambers (1891-1946) by Roberts Batson Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2003, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Although Lyle Saxon was New Orleans' most popular writer during the second quarter of the twentieth century, he is remembered less as a writer than as an editor and friend to writers, as well as an architectural preservationist, a French Quarter booster, and beloved public personality. Saxon was born on September 4, 1891. His early life was strongly shaped by family and by literary influences. It is significant that all three of the child's names were family names. His father Hugh, of course, was a Saxon, his father's mother was a Lyle, and Saxon's mother Katherine was a Chambers. All three were journalists. His grandmother, Elizabeth Lyle Saxon, was also a poet, author, and prominent early suffragette. In addition, his maternal grandfather, Michael Chambers, owned the first bookstore in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, long an institution in the town. Saxon's parents' marriage disintegrated shortly after his birth, and apparently he never afterwards had any contact with his father. He grew up in his grandfather's house with his mother and two spinster aunts. Young Lyle aspired to attend an Eastern college, but his genteel mother could not afford to send him to an Ivy-league college. Instead, he attended Louisiana State University in his hometown, but left college one course short of a degree. By 1919 Saxon was in New Orleans writing for the city's leading newspaper, The Times-Picayune. After a stint as a general reporter he began to write book reviews and fiction for the newspaper, as well as features about the city, its history and unique culture.

New Orleans has a long and rich artistic history and has produced a wealth of artists and writers of national and international renown. Sculptors and painters, writers and poets have called New Orleans home, and have found inspiration for their work in her history, culture, and landscapes. Mardi Gras, the celebration unique to this city, has influenced the work of many of our artists and writers. 6.

    COPAS—Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies Issue 15.1 (2014) “A Good Story”: On Black Abjection in Improv Comedy Michel Büch Abstract: This article discusses Black absence in Improv comedy as a symptom of a racial exclusion inherent in Humanism. Relating Improv’s liberatory and democratic ideals to the epistemological paradigm of modernity, I engage in deconstructive play with the literary doppelgänger motif as a Romanticist reaction to Enlightenment’s ratio-centric ideals. The argument considers the cultural phenomenon of Improv to be a particular manifestation of White aesthetic, cultural, and political hegemony in popular culture, not despite but because of its rhetorics of freedom. Keywords: Blackness; Critical Whiteness Studies; Improvisation; Humanism; Enlightenment; Theater; Doppelgänger; Performance; I think that satiric improvisational theater is definitely a cosmopolitan phenomenon and the people who do it and its audience are cosmopolitan people who are sufficiently liberated from their ethnic backgrounds to identify with whatever is going on throughout the world. […] But I don’t think most black people are cosmopolitan. I think they’re more ethnic in their orientation, so when they’re black actors, they want to do black theater. […] The ethnic experience is very enjoyable, but it excludes the outer world. It’s always “Us against them.” Roger Bowen (qtd. in Sweet 40-41)1 Improv and Diversity In a recent article for the Chicago Tribune, Meredith Rodriguez engages with “the lack of diversity” on NBC’s comedy show Saturday Night Live and traces the absence of black cast members back to the racial dynamics of the major breeding ground for future comedians: Chicago’s Improv scene.

    Plant Powers, Poisons, and Herb Craft

    PLANT POWERS, POISONS, AND HERB CRAFT BY DALE PENDELL Foreword by Gary Snyde, $21.95 US In 'Pharmako/Poeia, Dale Pendell offers a mesmerizing guide to psychoactive Alternative plants, from their pharmacological roots to the literary offshoots. "This is a Health/ book," writes Gary Snyder, "about danger: dangerous knowledge, even more Literature dangerous ignorance." Against the greater danger, ignorance, Pendell strikes a formidable blow, as he proves himself a wise and witty guide to our plant teach- ers, their powers and their poisons. "Dale Pendell reactivates the ancient connection between the bardic poet and the shaman. His Pharmako/Poeia is a litany to the secret plant allies that have always accompanied us along the alchemical trajectory that leads to a new and yet authentically archaic future." — Terence McKenna, author of True Hallucinations "Much of our life-force calls upon the plant world for support, in medicines and in foods, as both allies and teachers. Pendell provides a beautifully crafted bridge between these two worlds. The magic he shares is that the voices are spoken and heard both ways; we communicate with plants and they with us. This book is a moving and poetic presentation of this dialogue." — Dr. Alexander T. Shulgin, University of California at Berkeley, Department of Public Health "Pharmako/Poeia is an epic poem on plant humours, an abstruse alchemic treatise, an experiential narrative jigsaw puzzle, a hip and learned wild-nature reference text, a comic paean to cosmic consciousness, an ecological handbook, a dried-herb pastiche, a countercultural encyclopedia of ancient fact and lore that cuts through the present 'conservative' war-on-drugs psychobabble." - Allen Ginsberg, poet Cover design "Dale PendelFs remarkable book will make it impossible to and color work ever again underestimate the most unprepossessing plant.
