New Orleans Authors

Several well-known authors have called New Orleans home. For example, Tennessee Williams lived in New Orleans when he wrote some of his works, including A Streetcar Named Desire, which was set in New Orleans.

The house below, in New Orleans' Garden District, was the home of novelist Anne Rice. It was the the setting for her Witching Hour novels. Note the home is for sale - I don't know the asking price.
The tall, narrow, yellow building (below) is now home to Faulkner House Books. In 1925 William Faulkner lived in what was then a boarding house at 624 Pirates Alley and worked on his first novels, Mosquitoes, and Soldiers' Pay. It is now a bookshop on the first floor and the shop's proprietor lives on the three floors above. (adapted from Frommer's New Orleans 2008, p. 226)
