Marley and Me meets New Orleans July 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ian McNulty's first book gives the reader a delightful assortment of emotions. His poignant tale of trying to recapture his life in a post Katrina setting had me laughing out loud (read about the tattooed rollerblading girl) in one chapter and weeping in another. McNulty's besottment with New Orleans is evident as he records his baby steps in reclaiming the essence of what makes this Rhode Island young man now call New Orleans his home, his love.

A Season of Night July 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thoroughly enjoyed "A Season of Night: New Orleans After Katrina". It is one of those rare books that compel the reader to finish it in one sitting. It's descriptions of the surreal, tragic, and sometimes humorous events make it hard to believe this is non-fiction.
McNulty has a true gift. His recounting of his journey back to Mid-City grabs the emotions of his readers and has everyone "feeling" his book. He has done a remarkable job relating the tragedy of Katrina to those
who only watched it on TV or read about it in the newspaper. He has done a great service to his City and his fellow survivors. As one of millions of people who only experienced Katrina through the media McNulty's book gives a true human perspective.
"A Season of Night" will be high on my recommendation list for "must reads" this summer.
