Artists of Jackson Square, Short Stories
Get ready to get your socks knocked off.
This writer pulls no punches.

Party with a man named Satan during his last Mardi Gras, find out why Grace was banned from the French Quarter, and witness a saintly man's resurrection. In Artists of Jackson Square, Stuart South's debut collection of short stories, fiction is stranger than truth. Or maybe, it's as strange as truth.
These twenty narratives bring you vividly into the bohemian world of the French Quarter street artists. Humorous, tragic, uplifting, strange, beautiful, and gritty; it all went into this marvelous pot of literary gumbo from the Big Easy.

South presents a provocative array of tales, drawing from twenty years of experience as a street artist, executed in the subgenre of dirty realism.
Journey with this artist turned author in his whimsical and brutally honest anthology describing the underside of life in New Orleans.
These are prose you won't soon forget.

*This book contains explicit language, sexual situations, and graphic violence. Some characters express racist, sexist, homophobic, and other potentially offensive beliefs. The author's intent was not to offend, but to render an authentic artistic representation of his world.

About the Author

Stuart South was born in New Orleans.

Most of his adult life, he has been a full-time visual artist. During covid, from his apartment in the French Quarter overlooking Bourbon Street, he started writing. Over the next few years, he diligently developed his literary style, culminating in the writing of Artists of Jackson Square, Short Stories in the summer of 2024. He still creates art full time, but every free moment he has is now dedicated to painting with words.

He and his partner, fellow artist Laura Franch, live with their two cats, Mia and Becca, and Stuart’s mother, who suffers from dementia.

Keep an eye on this artist turned author. He is busy at work, and can’t wait to surprise you with his next book.
