Nines Lives is a multivoiced biography of a dazzling; surreal; and imperiled city; told through the lives of nine unforgettable characters and bracketed by two epic storms: Hurricane Betsy; which transformed New Orleans in the 1960s; and Hurricane Katrina; which nearly destroyed it. Dan Baum brings this kaleidoscopic portrait to life; showing us what was lost in the storm and what remains to be saved.

It's poorly written and how can you not know that Elizabeth I signed Mary Queen of Scotts death warrant! Or at least get it fact checked.Read MORE; NOW; AGAIN...now theres a book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Blonde in the BleachersBy Constance PlumleyBrassy essays from the Courtney Love of letters.2 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Willing to bare her breasts for her beliefsBy A CustomerWhen I first saw the cover of this book; I thought it sad that in today's world even as intelligent a woman as Elizabeth Wurtzel has to take off her shirt to sell her book. After reading the book; though; I have to admire Ms. Wurtzel for believing so strongly in her message that she will pose topless on the cover of her own book. The only way for a woman to express her personal power in today's world is through her sexuality; Ms. Wurtzel is saying; and to express her power she bares her breasts.
