Madam: A Novel of New Orleans

When vice had a legal home and jazz was being bornâ€”the captivating story of an infamous true-life madam
Â
New Orleans, 1900. Mary Deubler makes a meager living as an â€œalley whore.â€ That all changes when bible-thumping Alderman Sidney Story forces the creation of a red-light district thatâ€™s mockingly dubbed â€œStoryville.â€ Mary believes thereâ€™s no place for a lowly girl like her in the high-class bordellos of Storyvilleâ€™s Basin Street, where Champagne flows and beautiful girls turn tricks in luxurious bedrooms.Â But with gumption, twists of fate, even a touch of Voodoo, Mary rises above her hopeless lot to become the notorious Madame Josie Arlington.
Â
Filled with fascinating historical details and cameos by Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and E. J. Bellocq, Madam is a fantastic romp through The Big Easy and the irresistible story of a woman who rose to power long before the era of equal rights.
