Description or summary of the book: With a new foreword by the author on the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina-Chris Rose's New York Times bestselling collection: 'A gripping book about life's challenges in post-Katrina New Orleans...packed with heart, honesty, and wit' (New Republic). Celebrated as a local classic and heaped with national praise, 1 Dead in Attic is a brilliant collection of columns by an award-winning Times-Picayune journalist chronicling the horrific damage and aftermath wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2006. 'Frank and compelling...vivid and invaluable' (Booklist), it is a roller coaster ride through a devastated American wasteland as it groans for rebirth. Full of the emotion, tragedy and even humor-which has made Chris Rose a favorite son and the voice of a lost city-these are the stories of the dead and the living, of survivors and believers, of destruction and recovery, and of hope and despair. With photographs by British photojournalist Charlie Varley, 1 Dead in Attic captures New Orleans caught between an old era and a new, New Orleans in its most desperate time, as it struggled out of floodwaters and willed itself back to life.
