1 Dead in Attic is a collection of stories by Times-Picayune columnist Chris Rose, recounting the first harrowing year and a half of life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Celebrated as a local treasure and heaped with national praise, Rose provides a rollercoaster ride of observation, commentary, emotion, tragedy, and even humor—in a way that only he could find in a devastated wasteland.
They are stories of the dead and the living, stories of survivors and believers, stories of hope and despair. And stories about refrigerators.
1 Dead in Attic freeze-frames New Orleans, caught between an old era and a new, during its most desperate time, as it struggles out of the floodwaters and wills itself back to life.

1 Dead in Attic is a collection of newspaper articles chronicling life following Hurricane Katrina. It's heartwrenching images, stories, and humor create a lasting impression of the resillience of a city and its survivors.
This is a harrowing and beautiful book. Darkly humorous and heartrendingly sad, it changed my life. Take the time to read it.
