Book Reviews of 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina

Book Review: A voice for all of us
Summary: 5 Stars

Chris Rose gave voice to those of us who had lost ours in the horrible events before, during and after Katrina. He also gave me the first laughter through tears experience following that horrible event and has reminded us of the kindness we can have for one another, the resurrection of the spirit, the gift of strangers who came and gave of their own lives and those of us we rediscovered in our midsts. Rose did something I didn't think possible - made me love New Orleans even more. This book is a gift and I thank him for writing it and am forever grateful for his putting an awe-full experience into words when myself and so many others were simply unable to do so.

Summary of 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina

Dead in Attic is a collection of stories by Times-Picayune columnist Chris Rose, recounting the first harrowing year and a half of life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Celebrated as a local treasure and heaped with national praise, Rose provides a rollercoaster ride of observation, commentary, emotion, tragedy, and even humor -- in a way that only he 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.

Dead in Attic freeze-frames New Orleans, caught between an old era and a new, during its most desperate time, as it struggles out of the floodwaters and wills itself back to life.
