- View photos and video of this powerful projectDan Baum is a journalist with the ear of a musician. His book, Nine Lives, is a remarkable oral history of New Orleans in the forty years (1965-2005) between the twin catastrophes known as Betsy and Katrina, as seen through the eyes of nine of its citizens. In it, he not only captures the attitudes, rhythms and speech patterns that make the city so eternally compelling – he also catches the subtle nuances that distinguish folks born and raised in, say, the Tremé from those from the Ninth Ward. And Mid-City from the Irish Channel. And the lower Garden District from the upper Garden District. Colorado-based Baum's reportage is that rare achievement by a non-native observer – a clear-eyed look at the city's cultures that tells the truth at the same time that it sidesteps stereotypes and clichés. The book is so vivid and so visual – and its epic sweep is so comically, tragically human – that it yelled out to be adapted to another medium.Dan Baum is a journalist with the ear of a musician.
