My wife Jessica calls New Orleans the land of misfit toys.
While rising insurance rates reflect the challenges of engineering away from danger, we are drawn to something more powerful than a hurricane: a fierce cultural persistence for breaking bread in the ruins.
I spent some time thinking about this for my recent book, “Muddy Thinking in the Mississippi River Delta: A Call for Reclamation.”
To be sure, the city’s aging drainage system and subsiding coastal protection against
more powerful storms should give one cause for concern.
The question is how we choose to respond. I like filmmaker Josh Fox’s argument for longer tables.
