IN Writing (eBook, ePUB)

Uncovering the Unexpected Hoosier State

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Quirky, well-crafted essays" by an award-winning journalist about his home state of Indiana, filled with characters famous, notorious, and unknown ( Indianapolis Star). Fueled by an insider's view of Indiana and the state's often surprising connections to the larger world, IN Writing is revelatory. It is Indiana in all its glory: sacred and profane; saints and sinners; war and peace; small towns and big cities; art, architecture, poetry and victuals. It's about Hoosier talent and Hoosier genius: the courageous farmer-soldiers who ardently try to win the hearts and minds of twenty-first century Afghan insurgents; the artisans whose work pulses with the aesthetics of faraway homelands; and the famous modernist poet who had to leave to make his mark. It's about places that speak to a wider world: Columbus and its remarkable architecture; New Harmony and its enduring idealism; Indianapolis and its world-renowned Crown Hill cemetery. IN Writing makes visible the unexpected bonds between Indiana and the world at large.
