The Author
Ian McNulty is a freelance journalist.
Raised in Rhode Island, he moved to New Orleans in 1999 for what he thought would be a brief dalliance. The city sank its teeth early, however, and he has lived there ever since.
He is a columnist for Gambit Weekly, New Orleans Magazine, and New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles magazine, and he is a regular contributor to other publications and Web sites. He has covered the Katrina aftermath and ongoing recovery extensively, including the return of the New Orleans culinary scene, the response to the disaster by local artists, and the grassroots efforts that are improving the city block by block.
He is the recipient of several New Orleans journalism awards and he has received a proclamation of appreciation from the Rhode Island State Legislature for his writing about small town life in that state.
He lives in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans, where things are much better now than during the time portrayed in this book.
