Description

Meet the New Orleans obituaries writer who has spent four decades keeping stories of the dead alive. Save Our Cemeteries is delighted to present John Pope. A grand obituary remains key—and no one writes them like John Pope. No simple, mindless recitations of schools and workplaces, marriages, and mourners bereft here—these pieces in Getting Off at Elysian Fields are full-blooded life stories with accounts of great achievements, dubious dabblings, unavoidable foibles, relationships gone sour, and happenstances that turn out to be life-changing. Come hear John talk about his process and grab a copy of the book from the Garden District Book Shop which he will autograph. Reserve now - tickets will go fast for this event. Questions?
