Siamese fighting fish, cockroaches, cats, a snake, and a strange fungus all serve here as mirrors that reflect the unconfessable aspects of human nature buried within us. The traits and fates of these animals illuminate such deeply natural, human experiences as the cruelty born of cohabitation, the desire to reproduce and the impulse not to, and the inexplicable connection that can bind, eerily, two beings together. Each Nettel tale creates, with tightly wound narrative tension, a space wherein her characters feel excruciatingly human, exploring how the wounds we incur in life manifest themselves within us, clandestinely, irrevocably, both unseen and overtly. In a precise writing style that is both subtle and spellbinding, Nettel renders the ordinary unsettling, and the grotesque exquisite. Natural Histories is the winner of the 3rd Ribera del Duero International Award for Short Narratives, an important Spanish literature prize.

New Orleans is so much more than the Bourbon Street scenes you may have seen––it’s a 300-year-old city made up of vibrant neighborhoods, diverse populations, and traditions layered upon each other. World class food is available not only in our famous restaurants, but in corner restaurants across the city. Mardi Gras is the party we throw for ourselves, but invite the world to take part in. If partying with 1,000,000 friends is not your style, there are festivals nearly every week of the year to suit your taste and interests. Join Mark Bologna, host of the popular Beyond Bourbon Street podcats and curator of the Instagram page of the same name, as he explores the people, places, music, history and culture that make New Orleans unique.
