A Season of Night
by Ian McNulty
This is a very flavourful memoir of the first few months after Hurricane Katrina, by a local journalist who stayed straight through the disaster, in a part of the city that flooded, called Mid City. He lived through those days and nights when there was no electricity, no phone service, no street lights or traffic lights and that part of the city had turned into a kind of spooky frontier town.
