Taking place shortly after Hurrican Katrina hit New Orleans, After the Floods is narrated by talking animals taking us through the ordeals and lives in the aftermath of the floods.
It is written as a series of connected stories, taking us from New Orleans to a fictional town in Minnesota.

I thought the concept was very clever and whimsical. Henrickson is an author that really cares about his work, he even personally signed the book to me. This is a good book for anyone who likes magical realism.… (plus d'informations)

This book was very well written and certainly a unique concept, however, I found it difficult to read. It did not flow and I sometimes had trouble telling whether characters were animals, birds, or people. I rated it a three due to interesting writing style and originality - it was certainly like nothing I have read before. II just wish it were a bit more contiguous.

This was a strange but semi-enjoyable book. Lots of talking animals (haven't experienced that since Pynchon's Mason & Dixon) and confusing time twists. This book was like Tom Robbins goes to Lake Wobegon.

I found this book interesting and delightful. The eclectic characters were fascinating - even the talking animals. And even though the story seemed to jump around a bit, it still remained centered. The writing was excellent and I look forward to reading more by this author.
