This is a book by Gus Weill.
While I was in Lousiana this past Christmans, I went with my sister to the local Barnes and Noble. I found this book on the discount rack. That should have been the clue to leave it alone.
The author paints a very negative picture of Cajun culture. As a Cajun, I found it offensive. There are some elements of truth, but Weill has exaggerated them to presumably amuse some audience that I hope I never meet. If you look at the book jacket, you will get the impression that the culture described is somehow true to life - it is not.
As it turns out, James Carville is a protege of Weill's and encouraged him write the book. He even made a (dumb) comment printed on the back cover. Wonder why I don't vote for Democrats?
If you really know about Cajuns, read the book and see what you think. If you don't, then stay away as it will poison your mind against us. We aren't anywhere near this bad.
