Most of the city was without power. Emptied and ruined houses, businesses, schools, and churches stretched for miles through once thriving neighborhoods.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Almost immediately, however, die-hard New Orleanians began a homeward journey. A travelogue through this surreal landscape, \u003cem\u003eA Season of Night: New Orleans Life after Katrina\u003c\/em\u003e offers a deeply intimate, firsthand account of that homecoming. After the floodwaters drained, author Ian McNulty returned to live on the second floor of his wrecked house without electricity or neighbors. For months his sanity was writing this book on a laptop by candlelight.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By turns haunting, inspiring, and darkly comic, this memoir offers a behind-the-headlines story of resilience and renewal. From bittersweet camaraderie in the wreckage to depression and violent rampages in the lawless night to the first flickers of cultural revival and the explosive joy of a post-Katrina Mardi Gras, \u003cem\u003eA Season of Night\u003c\/em\u003e delivers an unprecedented tale from the wounded but always enthralling Crescent City.
