Synopsis
For more than three decades Roger Emile Stouff has written his newspaper column “From the Other Side” on topics ranging from his life as a Chitimacha tribal member to his infatuation with fly fishing and mourning the loss of ancestral lands and waters. Those columns garnered him multiple awards and were the roots of his three memoirs as well as three nationally-broadcast television programs. Then there were the other pieces: The victories and pitfalls of remodeling a 170-year-old house; the misery of mowing the lawn with a beat-up old riding mower he nick-named after General George Armstrong Custer; living with a schizophrenic cat. Over more than thirty years and some 3,000 columns he fussed over cellphones, praised the virtues of good dogs and sweet tea, battled killer bees, debated the fine art of cussin’ and getting older in a South that had drastically changed just over the course of his life. With irreverent humor and a keen eye for the absurd, "With Reservations" presents the best of those essays, along with a few heart-tugs along the way. So sit back, grab a glass of honey-sweetened tea as this Native American and Cajun son of the South grapples with surviving in a world turned on its ear from a unique perspective born of two of the most unique cultures to be found in the great state of Louisiana.
