WINNER OF THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARD AND THE LA TIMES BOOK AWARD
'Masterly. Brilliantly crafted, powerfully written and deftly
reported' Guardian The urgent and unforgettable true story of
post-Katrina New Orleans . . . In August 2005, as Hurricane Katrina
blew in, the city of New Orleans has been abandoned by most
citizens. But resident Abdulrahman Zeitoun, though his wife and
family had gone, refused to leave. For days he traversed an
apocalyptic landscape of flooded streets by canoe. But eventually
he came to the attention of those 'guarding' this drowned city.
Only then did Zeitoun's nightmare really begin. Zeitoun is the
powerful, ultimately uplifting true story of one man's courage when
confronted with an awesome force of nature followed by more
troubling human oppression. 'Eggers uses Zeitoun's eyes to report
on America's reasonless post-Katrina world, Reminiscent of Gabriel
Garcia Marquez's documentaries, this is a true story told with the
skills of a master of fiction. Immensely readable' Independent 'The
stuff of great narrative non-fiction. Fifty years from now, when
people want to know what happened to this once-great city, they
will be talking about a family named Zeitoun' The New York Times
