DESCRIPTION:
Diary from the Dome is a personal chronicle of two very different trips to New Orleans- 'America's Most Soulful City.' The first chronicle is the author's 1977 trip, recorded in his journals as 'a naïve twenty-one-year-old discovering himself.' The second trip finds the author caught in the vicious storm, Hurricane Katrina, and eventually becoming trapped as a tourist inside the New Orleans Superdome- with 20,000 other helpless people. This incisive and opinionated story presents Harris observations of human behavior at its best and at its worst and also serves as an eloquent tribute to 'the incredible citizens of New Orleans.'

"Soapbox" according to Jeannine. The author mixes his memories of his time in the Superdome with his preaching about society. No doubt his time was and still is emotionally charged. Maybe use of a professional writer would have helped smooth the lines and made the book easier to read.. POLITICALLY-ORIENTED BUT STILL GOOD I know there were a lot of political issues surrounding hurricane Katrina and the way it was or wasn't handled afterwards. This book focuses maybe half and half, telling the story of what it was like for the author in the Superdome, but also discussing the political aspects of it. I could tell just by what I read that I wouldn't agree with him on most things, but I do remember well how things were mismanaged. "what a twit" according to Sinay Stenlund. "Pompous Twit" were the words that kept coming to mind as I read this thinly veiled self granulizing bit of pontication.
