Macon Fry is an author, writer and educator. Fry arrived in New Orleans in 1981 to record and write about the unique culture and folkways of South Louisiana. For the past thirty years he has lived on the watery fringe of New Orleans, occupying a self-built stilt house over the Mississippi River, hidden by the huge levees that keep the city dry.
He is currently writing and researching for his forthcoming book, Mississippi River Rats: Hidden Lives of Louisiana’s Batture-Dwellers.
