媒体评论

　　“Nine Lives reaches for, and gr***s, an astonishing range of

experience in New Orleans. In tracing the paths of these lives over

decades, and across the lines of age, race, class, and gender, it

gives an essential perspective on what was lost, and found, by the

survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Dan Baum doesn’t live in New

Orleans, but New Orleans lives in him, and on every page of this

harrowing, compassionate book.” —Tom Piazza, author of City of

Refuge and Why New Orleans Matters

　　“Nine Lives is stunning work. Dan Baum has immersed himself in

New Orleans, the most fascinating city in the United States, and

illuminated it in a way that is as innovative as Tom Wolfe on ***

rods and Truman Capote on a pair of murderers. Full of stylistic

brilliance and deep insight and an overriding compassion, Nine

Lives is an instant classic of creative nonfiction.”—Robert Olen

Butler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Good Scent from a

Strange Mountain

　　“Dan Baum writes with grace and heart in this extraordinary

homage to that most beautiful and broken of America’s cities, New

Orleans. This is an important American story, and Dan Baum has done

a wonderful thing in telling it.” —Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che

Guevara: A Revolutionary Life and The Fall of Baghdad

　　“Dan Baum tests the power of a very haunting place to bring

these beautifully crafted narratives into a coherent w***—and New

Orleans comes through with soulful aplomb. Nine Lives is a

masterful portrait of a fragile American outpost between two

terrible storms.” —Jed Horne, author of Breach of Faith: Hurricane

Katrina and the Near Death of a Great American City

　　“Nine Lives may be this young year’s most artful and

emotionally resonating nonfiction book so far, and for that, to Mr.

Baum, a belated New Year’ s toast.”—New York Times

　　“Brilliantly reported… Compassionate and clear-eyed, Nine

Lives brings you into the heart of an American tragedy.” —People,

four stars

　　“A splendid book… Baum continually serves up wonderful detail

and phrasing… People in Nine Lives sometimes use the phrase “You

feel me?” the way other people say “You understand?” If Baum had

employed these words as the last line of his book, as a question

about everything he’s told us, the answe***ould be a firm,

appreciative yes.”—New York Times Book Review

　　"Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans is one of the most

moving—and riveting—books eve***ritten about the rich and

complicated life we live here." —Times-Picayune

　　“[A] shimmering portrait . . . [Baum] adroitly moves his

subjects through ***s, pris***, divorces, *** changes, fancy

balls and gun brawls—yes, the stuff of life here—showing New

Orleans as a magnetic, enduring force.”—Washington Post
