Katrina: After the Flood by Gary Rivlin is a journalistic nonfiction account of Hurricane Katrina and its long aftermath in New Orleans. Drawing on Rivlin’s on-the-ground reporting for The New York Times, interviews, trial transcripts, government records, newspaper coverage, and other documentary sources, the book examines not only the storm’s physical destruction but also the deeper social and political damage that followed. Its central concern is how recovery unfolded in a city shaped by poverty, racial segregation, weak institutions, and competing visions of redevelopment. Rather than treating Katrina as a single catastrophic event, Rivlin presents it as a long crisis of governance, inequality, and public decision-making. The book is especially attentive to how race and class affected who suffered most, who had power over rebuilding, and whose interests were prioritized as New Orleans tried to recover over the decade after the flood.
