I realized I really don’t know that much about the disaster like I thought, and would love suggestions for books talking about what actually happened after the hurricane.
LANDFALL by Thomas Mallon is about the twin disasters of Iraq and Katrina, and includes a particularly horrifying scene set at the Superdome.
