"The Second Line is Molina's masterfully executed love story to his hometown -- and the best way to understand New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina. I've never been there, but the city's uniqueness sings to anyone who has cried for their hometown, its beauty and twisted history. Dredging up the dreams, nightmares, and horror tales of Katrina's victims and survivors, this is American Magical Realism. It's also livid social critique, Afrocentric opera, and includes a highly entertaining 'Glossary of N.O. Terms to Know.' Don't watch CNN -- read this book."
