"Writers come
from near and far to visit the Maple Street Book Shops . . . . Proprietor
Rhoda Faust agrees that these are boom times for writers. 'Writers come
here because a lot of great writing has been set here and that's very
appealing and confidence-inspiring. The same could be said of Boston,
New York, and San Francisco, but New Orleans offers something more –
a slower pace, less pressure, less competition within the community
of writers. New Orleans is more tolerant than most cities, and it didn't
become that way because it's politically correct. New Orleans has always
been tolerant in a joyful way that seems more sincere. Writers seem
to thrive in this atmosphere.' "
