I am not sure my review will be published as it is very inflammatory. But I hope Mr. Eggers will read it. He has done a brilliant job describing the horrific bigotry and discrimination still rampant in much of the South. And FEMA representatives found a willing partner in them after Katrina.Eggers describes the city perfectly ! The Napoleon St. Charles corner is so famous as the parade routes routinely turn toward the Garden District there. And it is only blocks from Memorial Hospital, where many patients were "euthanized" shortly before they could have been rescued (this is not an indictment against the staff. I don't know what I would have done were I in their shoes). Eggers refers to this incident, and to the nursing home in the Ninth Ward whose owners left via roof top and were criticized for abandoning their residents. Again, no aspersions here.But I was shocked by the prison so rapidly assembled by Angola convicts for FEMA/New Orleans. None of my friends who lived in NOLA whenI did, and left for similar reasons, knew of this totally degrading place. But now, because of Eggers, they will ! I only pray that this book will help prevent this type of barbarism IN OUR COUNTRY in the future.Anti- Muslim ? Read about this brave, proud man who remained in America despite the horrific torture and humiliation imposed on him.I strongly recommend James Lee Burkes "Tin Roof Blowdown " after you read this book. All of Burke's New Orleans books are fantastic, but thus one is about Katrina. The real nitty gritty street scene. But Burke didn't write about Camp Greyhound. How did Eggers find out about Zeitune and the Camp ?
I give it 3 stars because it was a well written book. It was our book club selection and itt kept our attention throughout. The image of Zeitoun was one of a caring man who went beyond to give assistance to those most affected by the hurricane. His devotion to the stranded dogs was amazing. This is the character we all came to admire. We became involved in his life and the secondary characters as well. But then.......it was discovered that his actual persona was not in keeping with his written one. It turns out that he is far from the caring and admirable person portrayed in the book. That may be one part of him but there's another side that is far different. Once we had this information our feelings about him changed completely.As a group we were disappointed and felt like we had been deceived by the book's portrayal. It cast a pall over any further discussion of the book.
This book is outside of my usual reading list; however I'm so glad I picked up this book. It is an easy read that provides excellent insight into the experience of a 'good American family' who found themselves on the wrong side of the American gov't. Near the end of the book the author provides some insight how the gov't came to it's conclusion's altho as is usual there is zero accountability.Our country's reaction to the tragedy of 911 was driven by fear; I can think of no decision that is made in a state of fear that turns out well.
The most interesting part was about the aftermath of Katrina, and as Hurricane Harvey had just inundated Houston, it was especially timely reading, How Zeitoun was able to get along so well showed his capability. Then, when he is arrested and imprisoned without being allowed to communicate and without being charged, he is helpless. I couldn't believe that it happened in the USA in the 21st century.
In ZEITOUN, David Eggers has written a remarkable true story of one man's struggle to both survive and make a difference in an atmosphere of devastation and official incompetence. In reviewing this book, I'll be struggling against the use of superlatives and glowing adjectives, the bane of those who evaluate the worthiness of another person's writing.Eggers has focused on many aspects of Hurricane Katrina. His probing examination reveals the overwhelming extent of the destruction, personal choices on how to cope with it, the ineptitude and cruelty displayed by officialdom, and individual stories of courage and compassion.The author has obviously connected with the Zeitoun family. Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun, along with their children and many relatives scattered around the world, personify the closeness and love that every family strives for. It was the group effort that overcame an individual's hardship. Distance, cost, or time were not factors in their efforts that ultimately brought the ordeal to a somewhat satisfactory conclusion. Eggers portrays this intimate bond with obvious admiration.Eggers is not so complimentary about the government's handling of its relief efforts. Officials responsible with maintaining order and providing assistance were caught up in the immensity of the disaster. Their confusion eventually gave way to abuse of power, indolence, and a herd mentality that resulted in the total breakdown of what should have been a humanitarian effort. I was outraged by the arrest of Zeitoun and his comrades in the first place and then totally devastated by their subsequent treatment by over officious law enforcement and military personnel.The bullying attitude by law enforcement is a problem that still exists today. The sad part, as recounted in ZEITOUN, is that this idiotic attitude starts at the top and then permeates the entire organization. Who the hell was responsible for this debacle? Has anyone been called to account for it?Abdulrahmin and Kathy's anxiety about keeping in touch with each other, although great during the actual storm, was exacerbated by Abdulrahmin's arrest. Panicky feelings of despair, and hopelessness became unbearable. The after effects of their ordeal seem more influenced by their encounters with law enforcement that by the storm itself. Their resilience is simply amazing, as is their ability to forgive. If this is a trait produced by their devout Muslim religion, then I'm impressed.So I absolutely recommend this book. The writing is outstanding. The experience is mesmerizing. The lessons learned are eye-opening. The characters are unforgettable. Zeitoun (pronounced zay-toon) is a name for the ages.Schuyler T WallaceAuthor of TIN LIZARD TALES
