New Orleans Journal

When trying to find a profile of New Orleans to compare to Why New Orleans Matters I found the New Orleans Journal in the New Yorker. Written by Dan Baum, these journal entries are in the format of a daily journal. Each entry is just a recap of the events of his day. It is more of a personal narrative than Piazza's version of New Orleans. This day to day account makes the story of New Orleans more personal and feels less forced than Piazza's book. It feels more objective and makes the reader relate to New Orleans more. Piazza could have taken an approach closer to Baum's.
