640. Bruce's son Kerr joins us for part 1 of our conversation with Josh
Neufeld about his non-fiction graphic novel, A.
D. After the Deluge. “A stunning graphic novel that
makes plain the undeniable horrors and humanity triggered by
Hurricane Katrina in the true stories of six New Orleanians who
survived the storm. A.D. follows each of the six from the hours
before Katrina struck to its horrific aftermath. Here is Denise,
a sixth-generation New Orleanian who will experience the chaos
of the Superdome; the Doctor, whose unscathed French Quarter
home becomes a refuge for those not so lucky; Abbas and his
friend Mansell, who face the storm from the roof of Abbas’s
family-run market; Kwame, a pastor’s son whose young life will
remain wildly unsettled well into the future; and Leo, a
comic-book fan, and his girlfriend, Michelle, who will lose
everything but each other.”

639. Lori Peek, Part 2
639. Part 2 of our interview with Lori Peek about her book, The Continuing Storm, which she wrote with Kai Erikson. More than fifteen years later, Hurricane Katrina maintains a strong grip on the American imagination. The reason is not simply that Katrina was an event of enormous scale. But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing important truths about our society and ourselves. The Continuing Storm reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America.
