Default 1 Dead In The Attic

I personally chose to go to school in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina because I visited and loved the city, even with the devastation. So for those who aren't fortunate enough to have visited this great city (attend a jazz funeral, spend some time at Rock and Bowl, have a drink at Miss Mae's, walk down Magazine, listen to live music at Tipitina's, and all the other great things NOLA has to offer) and are curious about New Orleans from a first hand perspective the year or so following Katrina, I recommend 1 Dead In Attic.

Quote:
1 Dead in Attic is a collection of stories by Times-Picayune columnist Chris Rose, recounting the first four harrowing months of life in New Orleans after Katrina. It is a roller coaster ride of observations, commentary, emotions, tragedy and even humor - in a way that only Rose could find in a devastated wasteland. They are stories of the dead and the living, stories of survivors and believers, stories of hope and despair. And stories about refrigerators. With photographs by British photojournalist Charlie Varley, 1 Dead in Attic freeze frames 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 in the autumn and early winter of 2005.

Live it everyday. I first heard about this book on writer/chef Anthony Bourdain's show. Seems like a good read.
