In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, longtime New Orleans residents Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun are cast into unthinkable struggle with forces beyond wind and water. Good Samaritan Abdulrahman has stayed on in the city, traversing its deeply flooded streets by canoe, feeding trapped dogs and rescuing survivors, as New Orleans becomes a disaster zone. But nothing could prepare him for the wholly unexpected nightmare that follows . . .

Recensione:
Zeitoun is a poignant, haunting, ethereal story about New Orleans in peril. Eggers has bottled up the feeling of post-Katrina despair better than anyone else. This is a simple, beautiful book with a lingering radiance (Douglas Brinkley, author of The Great Deluge)

An instant American classic. This is a major work full of fire and wit by one of our most important writers (Michael Eric Dyson, author of Come Hell or High Water)

The shocking tale of a true New Orleans hero. This is narrative non-fiction at its very, very best (Herald)

Eggers usesz Zeitoun's eyes to report on America's reasonless, post-Katrina world. Reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's documentaries, this is a true story told with the skills of a master of fiction. Immensely readable' (Independent)

Masterly, Billiantly crafted, powerfully written and deftly reported (Guardian)

The stuff of great narrative non-fiction. Fifty years from now, when people what to know what happened to this once-great city, they will be talking about a family named Zeitoun (The New York Times Book Review)

Shocking (The Times)

Extraordinary, gripping (Daily Telegraph)

Terrifying (Observer)

Riveting (Vanity Fair)
