Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans by Dan Baum

5.0

An excellent read that’s both beautiful and enraging. Baum collects the stories of New Orleans in a way that is both true to the form of the Big Easy and catalogs the injustices of Katrina. Highly recommend for anyone interested in gaining a unique perspective on NOLA pre-Katrina that puts the storm itself into a greater perspective.
