It was certainly better to have left New Orleans before Katrina wreaked her terrible punishment on that city; but after reading Heart Like Water, I would have to say that Josh Clark's choice birthed one of the best books on the subject of the hurricane since that terrible August week. We spoke to Josh a couple of times during our live coverage — he's the founder and editor of the Light of New Orleans Publishing, in the heart of the French Quarter. He chose to ride out the storm in his apartment, and today, he'll join us to talk about his book on Katrina and the city he loves.
