He was the central figure in the state's literary community during the 1920s and 1930s and well-known as a raconteur and bon vivant. He divided his time between his house in New Orleans and a cottage on the Melrose Plantation near Natchitoches. During the 1930s he headed the Louisiana WPA Writers' Project, which produced the \u003ci\u003eWPA Guide to Louisiana\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eWPA Guide to New Orleans\u003c\/i\u003e.
