Called Out Of Darkness : A Spiritual Confession

Attribution
by Anne Rice
Publication Details
Book, Alfred A. Knopf, 2008
Description
In 2005, Anne Rice startled her readers with her novel Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, and by revealing that, after years as an atheist, she had returned to her Catholic faith. She writes about her years in radical Berkeley, where her career as a novelist began with the publication of Interview with the Vampire, soon to be followed by more novels about otherworldly beings, about the realms of good and evil, love and alienation, pageantry and ritual, each reflecting aspects of her often agonizing moral quest.

David G. Spielman
Publication Details
Book, Louisiana State University Press, 2007

Description
When Hurricane Katrina approached New Orleans, photographer David G. His arresting blackandwhite photographs record the details of the disaster on both a grand and an intimate scale, at times recalling works by Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Henri CartierBresson. Living without electricity or running water and existing on peanut butter sandwiches, he nonetheless is able to appreciate the complete quiet and unadulterated starlight in a surreal city without power. Spielman is a fine art, commercial, and journalistic photographer whose images have appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers, including the London Times, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Time, Newsweek, Forbes, and Architectural Digest.

Breach Of Faith : Hurricane Katrina And The Near Death Of A Great American City

Attribution
Jed Horne
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2006
Links
- Contributor biographical information
- Publisher description
Description
Hurricane Katrina shredded one of the great cities of the South, and as levees failed and the federal relief effort proved lethally incompetent, a natural disaster became a man-made catastrophe. Horne takes readers into the private worlds and inner thoughts of storm victims from all walks of life to weave a tapestry as intricate and vivid as the city itself. Even before stranded survivors had been plucked from their roofs, government officials embarked on a vicious blame game that further snarled the relief operation and bedeviled scientists striving to understand the massive levee failures and build New Orleans a foolproof flood defense.
