How is New Orleans coping now? We take the pulse of the city, debunk some myths, and continue to write the history of what Harry Shearer calls the “greatest man-made engineering disaster in American history” as the TPMCafe Book Club features Cheryl Wagner’s Plenty Enough Suck To Go Around: A Memoir Of Floods, Fires, Parades, and Plywood, an often hilarious account of her bizarre three-year haul rebuilding her home and her life in New Orleans.
In addition to Shearer, Wagner (full disclosure: an old friend and high school classmate of mine) will be joined by Paul Tough, John McQuaid, Al Kennedy, and Charles Figley to discuss what it’s like in the city that America abandoned then forgot.
