Billy Sothern's Down in New Orleans illustrates, in very human and heartbreaking ways, how the horrors that emerged during and following Hurricane Katrina existed long before the storm. These beautifully composed stories not only reveal the dignity—and amazing grit and grace—of the hurricane's survivors; they also illuminate larger truths about the urgent issues of our day.

I'm so confused. And annoyed.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?
Why would an author/ publisher/ narrator even bother recording an audiobook making ABSOLUTELY NO EFFORT to learn to properly pronouce the local street names, city names, or surnames? It's not like you can't GET to New Orleans, or make a phone call, or talk to the AUTHOR, who, supposedly, has actually lived there for years. This was PAINFUL to me. I tried to start a list, but it soon became obvious that it would be easier to list the things he pronounced correctly: Canal street....Harry Lee...St. Charles..umm yeah that's about it. SO DISTRACTING, I found myself having to backtrack constantly to force myself to listen to the content. He pronounced "Metairie" about 4 different (wrong) ways. "FAW-berg Ma-RIG-ny". "THibodeaux" (like thistle). "KAY-rondolet". And when he got to the part where he had to list the streets named after the muses, my eye started twitching. All I'm saying is, DUDE. Make an effort, for crying out loud.
