(2) 4-6 Born in southern Louisiana at the turn of the century, Félix LeBlanc comes from a long line of fiddlers, but his mama forbids him to play. Doucet ably portrays both a youngster's all-consuming passion for a forbidden act and his determination to find his own way. The Creole setting is well realized, and the lagniappe is Doucet's easy use of similes, which stick to the native dialect like gravy on rice. Glos.
