The Front Porch WBOK Media The Front Porch is just that: a respite of sorts, couched in New Orleans culture. Actor, whiskey afficionado and trivia genius Gralen Bryant Banks delivers fun, light, informative, and enriching conversation about the culture of New Orleans. He is joined by Kemba White Dupree, a New Orleans native to share an intense and abiding love of the city and all its offerings and they don’t hold back in their praise or critique. Come sit a spell and learn everything from Brass Bands to Mardi Gras Big Chiefs to places to go and things to eat in and around this great city! The Story of My Misfortunes by Peter Abelard Loyal Books Autobiographies from remote historical periods can be especially fascinating. Modes of self-presentation vary greatly across the centuries, as of course does the very concept of Self. Peter Abelard, the medieval philosopher and composer, here gives a concise but vivid survey of his notoriously calamitous life. The work is couched in the form of a letter to an afflicted friend. Abelard’s abrasively competitive, often arrogant personality emerges at once in the brief Foreword, where he informs his correspondent: “(I)n comparing your sorrows with mine, you may discover that yours are in truth nought.. and so shall you come to bear them the more easily.”
