Managing Ignatius: The Lunacy of Lucky Dogs and Life in New Orleans
- Used Book in Good Condition
â€œA real-life Confederacy of Dunces.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews
Â
When Jerry Strahan became manager of the Lucky Dogs hot dog cart in 1970s New Orleans, he assumed leadership of the most misfit crew of hot dog vendors in the French Quarter.
Â
In Managing Ignatius, Strahan recounts his two decades of hilarious dealings with outrageous characters including drifters, drunks, swindlers, transvestites, and the occasional college kid whose hawking refrain â€œdonâ€™t be a meanie, buy a weanieâ€ still echoes through the French Quarter. As the straight man for the absurdity surrounding him, Strahan mediates disputes with loan sharks, pimps, and jealous loversâ€”and creates an unforgettable portrait of the delights and debauchery of the Crescent City.
Â
â€œFrank and funny . . .Â Managing Ignatius is an entrepreneurial story that captures the year-round drama of doing business on the street and the seasonal rhythms of the French Quarter.â€â€”The New York Times
