“In the growing constellation of Katrina stories, Josh Clark’s
masterful tale shines brightest. The legibility of Katrina’s profound
inner impact had to wait for this book, which is a love story. Its
rhythms are nothing short of majestic. Josh Clark has written the great
non-fiction New Orleans novel, a book that’s here to stay.”

—Andrei Codrescu

“The pure verbal energy and steely clarity of Joshua Clark’s account of
out-lasting Hurricane Katrina makes his book much more than memoir and
documentary — both of which it profoundly is. Clark’s narrative rises
to the level of being a crucial witness to the city itself — an
indictment, indeed, but also a reveling, an elegy, a light forward to
survival.”

—Richard Ford
