About this book
With a new foreword by the authorâChris Rose's New York Times bestselling collection: "A gripping book about life's challenges in post-Katrina New OrleansâŚpacked 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 humorâwhich has made Chris Rose a favorite son and the voice of a lost cityâthese 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.
