from James: A Novel by Percival Everett:
“I sure would like to be in St. Louis,” a man said.
“New Orleans,” said another.
“Yes, New Orleans. They know how to have fun in New Orleans.”
“Ever been to New Orleans?” Big Mike asked me.
I shook my head.
He thought for a second. “You oughta go some day. Pull that line tight.”
I did and watched as he pounded in a stake with a sledge. “I ain’t neber been nowhere,” I said.
