Ten years after Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana, journalist Gary Rivlin describes the storm’s lasting effects on the city of New Orleans’s geography and infrastructure, as well as its psychic, racial, and social fabric. In Katrina: After the Flood, Rivlin traces New Orleans’s efforts to rebuild itself and tells the stories of politicians and business owners, teachers and bus drivers, poor and wealthy, black and white as they confront the aftermath of one of the great tragedies of our age.

Gary Rivlin will be reading and signing books at Barnes & Nobel tonight at 7 pm.
