new book about new orleans: "finn mccool's football club - the birth, death, and resurrection of a pub soccer team in the city of the dead"

below is an unsolicited email that we just received from mr. stephen rea [bio] on his new book about new orleans that you might be interested in checking out:

Hi there,

I just wanted to tell you about my book which has just come out Finn McCool's Football Club - The Birth, Death, and Resurrection of a Pub Soccer Team in the City of the Dead. (Pelican Publishing)

It deals with an Irish bar in Mid-City and the lives of the regulars before, during, and after Katrina.

As someone who blogs on life in New Orleans, I thought you may be interested in how a "foreign" local interprets what goes on in the city.

Last week the Times Picayune carried an article on the book:

Thanks for your time!
