Café Des Exiles

By George W. Cable and George Washington Cable

Book Overview

Caf����� Des Exiles is a novel written by George W. Cable, first published in 1894. The story is set in New Orleans and revolves around a group of exiles who gather at a caf����� to share their stories of loss and displacement. The main character is Gaston Latour, a young man who has been disowned by his family for marrying a woman of mixed race. He finds solace in the caf����� and becomes friends with the other exiles who gather there, including a former Confederate soldier, a French artist, and a Creole musician. The novel explores themes of race, identity, and belonging, as the characters navigate their way through a society that is hostile to their differences. The writing is lyrical and evocative, capturing the sights, sounds, and smells of New Orleans in the late 19th century. Overall, Caf����� Des Exiles is a poignant and insightful portrayal of the human experience of exile and the search for community and connection in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving.""Who knows?"" resumed Galahad, when those who understood English had explained in Spanish to those who did not, ""but they may soon need the services not only of our good doctor heer, but of our society; and that Fernandez and Benigno, and Gonzalez and Dominguez, may not be chosen to see, on that very schooner lying at the Picayune Tier just now, their beloved remains and so forth safely delivered into the hands and lands of their people.
