"Is the future--ever more people with their houses, stores, roads, and sprawl--wrecking your past? [] Progress entails loss. Nowhere is this truer than in the landscapes we call home. In the recent decades' acceleration of building and destruction (of the old as well as the natural), Melissa Holbrook Pierson has found something to mourn. Three American places--Akron, Ohio; Hoboken, New Jersey; the upstate towns now under New York City's reservoirs--are her test cases. [] A unique book uniquely of our moment: This is what it feels like to lose the place you love." [publisher copy] "A great success: Akron and Hoboken and upstate New York have been richly rendered in a prose at once poetic and lacerating. A primitive wailing can be heard in these pages, and Pierson implores us to join her. Or else."--Anthony Swofford, New York Times Book Review. "I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, just like Melissa Holbrook Pierson. She deftly sidesteps nostalgia to mix sadness with historical insight in her new book. It struck resonant chords in me, reverberating somewhere between memory and loss."--Jim Jarmusch. "Pierson catalogs with eloquent fury the changes that greed has wrought on the landscape. . . Part memoir, part philosophical treatise on the idea of home, part history lesson; Pierson's lyrical prose weaves elements of all three into a whole."--Katherine Sharpe, Village Voice. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
