Description
Book SynopsisLike a mournful fairytale, Jennifer Shaw’s beautifully staged tableaux are alternately sweet and menacing, filled with emotion but never spilling over into sentimentality. The poetic marriage of words and photos makes Hurricane Story a children’s book for grown-ups.” Josh Neufeld, creator of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge
Even if you think you''ve seen it all where Katrina''s concerned, trust me, you''re going to love Shaw''s marvelous memoir.The Times-Picayune
This is the kind of book that reminds you that books can be beautiful objects. The Los Angeles Times
Hurricane Story is a tabletop, toy box Odyssey. With simple objects, trenchant statements, and exquisite camera vision, Shaw relates an epic tale of displacement, creation and discovery. George Slade, curator, Photographic Resource Center, Boston
An engaging variation on a near mythic theme.Gambit Weekly
