Review
"Yes, "Degas in New Orleans involves a haunted house, ghosts, and titillating couplings, but all elements are solidly anchored in historical events and retold by Christopher Benfey in a deft synthesis of art criticism and historical speculation. . . . An elegant introduction to a city that remains a secretive, seductive metropolis."--Grace Lichtenstein, "Washington Post Book World
