About this product

Product Information

National Bestseller The true story of one family, caught between America's two biggest policy disasters: the war on terror and the response to Hurricane Katrina. Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun run a house-painting business in New Orleans. In August of 2005, as Hurricane Katrina approaches, Kathy evacuates with their four young children, leaving Zeitoun to watch over the business. In the days following the storm he travels the city by canoe, feeding abandoned animals and helping elderly neighbors. Then, on September 6th, police officers armed with M-16s arrest Zeitoun in his home. Told with eloquence and compassion, Zeitoun is a riveting account of one family's unthinkable struggle with forces beyond wind and water.

"Imagine Charles Dickens, his sentimentality in check but his journalistic eyes wide open, roaming New Orleans after it was buried by Hurricane Katrina. . . . Eggers'' tone is pitch-perfect--suspense blended with just enough information to stoke reader outrage and what is likely to be a typical response: How could this happen in America? . . . It''s the stuff of great narrative nonfiction. . . . Fifty years from now, when people want to know what happened to this once-great city during a shameful episode of our history, they will still be talking about a family named Zeitoun ." --Timothy Egan, The New York Times Book Review "[A] heartfelt book, so fierce in its fury, so beautiful in its richly nuanced, compassionate telling of an American tragedy, and finally, so sweetly, stubbornly hopeful." -- The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) " Zeitoun is a riveting, intimate, wide-scanning, disturbing, inspiring nonfiction account of a New Orleans married couple named Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun who were dragged through their own special branch of Kafkaesque (for once the adjective is unavoidable) hell after Hurricane Katrina. . . . [It''s] unmistakably a narrative feat, slowly pulling the reader into the oncoming vortex without literary trickery or theatrical devices, reminiscent of Mailer''s Executioner''s Song but less craftily self-conscious in the exercise of its restraint. Humanistic, that is, in the highest, best, least boring sense of the word." --James Wolcott, Vanity Fair "A major achievement and [Eggers''s] best book yet." -- The Miami Herald " Zeitoun offers a transformative experience to anyone open to it, for the simple reasons that it is not heavy-handed propaganda, not eat-your-peas social analysis, but an adventure story, a tale of suffering and redemption, almost biblical in its simplicity, the trials of a good man who believes in God and happens to have a canoe. Anyone who cares about America, where it is going and where it almost went, before it caught itself, will want to read this thrilling, heartbreaking, wonderful book." --Neil Steiberg, Chicago Sun-Times "Which makes you angrier--the authorities'' handling of Hurricane Katrina or the treatment of Arabs since Sept. 11, 2001? Can''t make up your mind? Dave Eggers has the book for you. . . . Zeitoun is a warm, exciting and entirely fresh way of experiencing Hurricane Katrina. . . . Eggers makes this account completely new, and so infuriating I found myself panting with rage." --Dan Baum, San Francisco Chronicle "A masterpiece of compassionate reporting about a shameful time in our history." -- O, The Oprah Magazine "Eggers''s sympathy for Zeitoun is as plain and real as his style in telling the man''s story. He doesn''t try to dazzle with heartbreaking pirouettes of staggering prose; he simply lets the surreal and tragic facts speak for themselves. And what they say about one man and the city he loves and calls home is unshakably poignant--but not without hope." --Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly " Zeitoun is a story about the Bush administration''s two most egregious policy disasters--the War on Terror and the response to Hurricane Katrina--as they collide with each other and come crashing down on one family. Eggers tells the story entirely from the perspective of Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun, although he says he has vigorously double-checked the facts and removed any inaccuracies from their accounts. At first, as a reader, I felt some resistance to this tactic--could the Zeitouns possibly be as wholesome and all-American as Eggers depicts them?--but the sheer momentum, emotional force and imagistic power of the narrative finally sweep such objections away." --Andrew O''Hehir, Salon, "Imagine Charles Dickens, his sentimentality in check but his journalistic eyes wide open, roaming New Orleans after it was buried by Hurricane Katrina. . . . Eggersrs" tone is pitch-perfect-suspense blended with just enough information to stoke reader outrage and what is likely to be a typical response: How could this happen in America? . . .

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

  • From one survivor to another!!

    I also lived through Hurricane Katrina but I was in Gulfport, MS. I lived in my home that was over 220 years old. My town was erased. Many times I had to put this book down because it brought back so many memories. But, the book was amazing and I just want the Author to know that I apologize for the way he was treated after the storm. I really thought New Orleans was one of the most open, acceptable cities in the United States, but obviously there are still people who can not appreciate God's gift in making us all different. I loved the words and hope others who read this book keep in mind that so many people are homeless in this country and we need to practice our humanity daily! Please read it then pass it on!!

  • Great condition of the book

    The description of the product says that the condition of the book is good, but in reality its condition is EXCELLENT. The book does not have any notes, highlighted areas,or torn pages in in it. It looks just like a new book!

  • Don’t judge the book by its cover!

    Really! The cover misled me for so long. But LOVED the book. If you liked Treme or Spike Lee’s documentary about New Orleans after Katrina you’ll love this book.

  • This was an intriguing book and I really liked it.

    I just loved this book. I could not believe how Mr. Zeitoun, a long time resident of New Orleans, could have been treated the way he was by the authorities after Katrina.
