Maybe the fact he didn't read the books of a good american writer called Mark Twain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Twain He is describing very well the life on the Misissipi river on the: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tom_Sawyer What is the relation between this book and the New Orleans poors ?
