Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones is one of the standout literary novels of Hurricane Katrina. Relief organizations such as FEMA and the Red Cross were unprepared for the intensity of the storm, and these organizations found themselves overburdened and incapable of providing aid, relief, or rescue on the scale the storm demanded, certainly adding to the number of lives ultimately lost in the storm and the floods that followed: an estimated 1,836 lives were lost, making Katrina the deadliest storm in America since 1928. The insufficient emergency response from the government at the federal, state, and local level highlighted the ways in which race, class, and employment status affected both preparation for and relief after the storm an evacuation order was not issued until just hours before the storm made landfall, and many impoverished or otherwise struggling families had no choice but to stay and ride out the storm, leading to mass casualties not just in New Orleans but all along the coast of Louisiana and Mississippi. Though catastrophic damage was seen from Florida to Texas, the city that saw the most devastating consequences and the most concentrated loss of life was New Orleans, Louisiana, where breaches in surge protection levees led to massive flooding that covered 80 percent of the city for weeks on end.
