Set in southern Louisiana in the weeks preceding the great flood of 1927, this book depicts a location and life-style going to be forever altered. On the verge of manhood and a stone’s throw of the increasing Mississippi River, Louis Proby is taken between his love of the natural world and the glittering temptations of New Orleans, between your beautiful Nanette Lançon and a daddy who no longer seems larger-than-life, between your simplicity of youth and the complicated decisions of adulthood.

Louis comes old at the same time when the united states is coming old. In Louisiana, it’s a time when the powerful prove themselves willing to sacrifice the poor to safeguard their position. As the folks of Cypress Parish go about their daily lives, bankers in New Orleans are plotting to improve those lives irrevocably. Like so many calamities, the the one that befalls Cypress Parish has both natural and human causes.

Established on historical incidents and narrated on the eve of another catastrophe, The Unnatural Record of Cypress Parish says the storyplot of a man growing up in a time and place nearly like any other. And in doing this it reveals the difficulty of our very own relationship to days gone by. This a magnificently turned book of love and natural record, wedded to the shadowy politics of Louisiana, a book about what manhood means now and what it designed in the south in the 1920s.
