Description: Sundays@4 welcomes Chris Rose and the celebration of his published compilation of essays, One Dead in Attic (Simon & Schuster) September 9.
The well-known devastation of Hurricane Katrina is immortalized by Rose’s personal and honest depictions of life after the storm. Taken from a series of columns published in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the book touches on the multifaceted experience of survival. The classic dichotomy of revelry and pain that is distinctly New Orleans is redefined in Rose’s essays. From the refrigerator corpses that lined St. Charles Avenue to the ceaseless availability of lap dances in the French Quarter, Rose’s One Dead in Attic is a unique and sentimental look at Louisiana after the storm.
