An event of note is happening this Friday at the Tattered Cover Lower Downtown: Boulder journalist Dan Baum will be reading from and singing copies of Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans.
Just after Hurrican Katrina Baum moved to New Orleans to write about the city's response to the disaster for The New Yorker. What he found, though, was the far more interesting thing about the city was its people. This book is a multivoiced biography of this dazzling, surreal and imperiled city through the lives of nine characters over forty years and bracketed by two epic storms: Hurricane Betsy which transformed the city in the 1960s and Hurricane Katrina, which nearly destroyed it.
This event takes place at our LoDo store, 1628 16th St (at Wynkoop) at 7:30 on Friday, February 20.
Oh, and by the way, tonight at the LoDo store Christopher Moore will be reading from and signing his latest novel, Fool. A bawdy retelling of King Lear. It is sure to be a rollicking evening. Free tickets are being handed out at 6:30. For more information, click here.
