Gary Krist - Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans ♦

Tuesday, October 28, 2014 - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

Krist, a novelist and author of City of Scoundrels, a history of 1916 Chicago, here recounts the colorful story of Gilded Age New Orleans—New Orleans and its wicked twin, Storyville. The book recounts the city’s efforts to control crime by restricting certain activities to an official red-light district. But rather than deterring mischief, the experiment led to flamboyant corruption, elaborate brothels, and violence that spilled over Storyville’s borders. (Crown)
