Chris Rose is a columnist for The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, an essayist for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and a frequent commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition. In 2006, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Commentary in recognition of his Katrina columns and was awarded a share in the Times-Picayune staff's Pulitzer for Public Service. Rose lives in New Orleans with his three children.
"The most engaging of the Katrina books...packed with more heart,
honesty, and wit...Rose was more interested in telling the searing
stories of his shattered city than assigning the blame for its
demise..."
-- Michael Grunwald, The New Republic
"The Crescent City's bard"
-- Harry Shearer, The Huffington Post
"These are impressionistic cries of pain and mordant humor...they
so aptly mirrored the sense of surreal dislocation experienced by
New Orleanians that they turned Rose into a voice of the tortured
city."
-- Ken Ringle, The Washington Post Book World
