I first stumbled on this book when I was in New Orleans last May for work and it piqued my curiosity. I didn't get around to reading it until I remember it was on my Kindle during Mardi Gras. What a poignant read. Baum featured nine New Orleanians, mostly Lower Ninth denizens.
From Tootie Montana and Billy Grace who were Mardi Gras fixtures and Ronald Lewis who lived through Betsy to Wil Rawlins who was still trying to live up to his father's name and JoAnn Guidos who was trying to use her bar as an anchor for the nonbinary and transgender communities much as New Orleans nightlife did for her.
These are 9 of many New Orleans stories, and while the book shows the effects Katrina had on their lives, it also spends chapters setting them up so we feel for them as three dimensional people, not just Katrina victims. An excellent read
