Abstract
Louisiana Anthology Podcast
Episode 243. Part 1 of our interview with Steven Rowan.
Steven talks to us about two works with the same title: Mysteries

of New Orleans, one written by Baron von Reizenstein in
German and the other by Charles Testut in French. Steven has
generously allowed the Louisiana Anthology to add his
translation of Testut's books to our site, along with a
chapter from Reizenstein on lesbian love in New
Orleans, the earliest work on explicit homosexuality in
Louisiana literature.
