  <default_description>From back cover
&quot;This book is dedicated to the memory of Thomas Coleman. He was a retired londshoreman, a storyteller, and a guy who liked to spend time with family and freinds. A New Oreanian. He was 80 years old when he died in his attic at 2214 St. Roch Avenue, in the 8th Ward, on or about Aug. 29, 2005. He had a can of juice and a bedspread at his side when the waters rose. There were more than a thousand like him.&quot;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The version of the book I purchased included the original &quot;1 Dead in Attic,&quot; and Chris Rose's yet to be published book, &quot;Purple Upside Down Car.&quot;  The publisher apparently combined the two books together.  The book includes numerous columns written by Mr. Rose &amp; published in the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46657424">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is written by a columnist for The Times-Picayune, a local New Orleans newspaper. Chris Rose spent the first six months after Hurricane Katrina in between New Orleans,  Mississippi and DC, to visit his children, his wife, his extended family, and to also work on the newspaper.

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book written during and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by Chris Rose Times-Picayune columnist. Rose had a way of taking such a tragic sad event and turning it into poetry almost. While the book was extremely difficult to read (emotionally) he was able to incorporate bits of humor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40278558">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If there was ever a book or body of work to convey the horror and personal response to Hurricane Katrina, this is it. Chris Rose from the award-winning Times-Picayune staff published this collection of essays written after the storm. They follow from 2005 and beyond, and shows several stages of this...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43353186">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really wanted to like this book.  Ultimately, though, a few things kept me from doing so.<br/><br/>1.  Rhythm.  It's essentially a 350-page book made up of 3-page columns, reprinted as they were initially published in the newspaper.
