NINE LIVES is a defining take on the story of New Orleans in the tradition of major novelisitic nonfiction works like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Isaac’s Storm, The Executioner’s Song, and A Bright, Shining Lie. A magesterial and elegiac nonfiction narrative from a New Yorker writer about nine lives in New Orleans over forty years, bookended by two epic hurricanes. A stunning work of journalism, this is the deeply felt story of a lost American outpost and the idiosyncratic, heroic, beautiful, and tragic people who call it home.
