This is a far-reaching collection of essays, poetry, fiction, and
writing on Ann Arbor by some of the great thinkers and writers of
the last two centuries. ""Writing Ann Arbor"" collects fiction,
essay, poetry, memoir, and drama by Max Apple, Charles Baxter, Sven
Birkerts, Donald Hall, Robert Hayden, Tom Hayden, Jane Kenyon,
Thomas Lynch, Ross Macdonald, Frank O'Hara, Marge Piercy, Dudley
Randall, Elwood Reld, Bob Ufer, Wendy Wasserstein, and Nancy
Willard, among others. The anthology is eclectic and engaging, with
many wonderful surprises: an essay on the Underground Railroad in
Ann Arbor; on basketball legend Cazzie Russell; an essay by Arthur
Miller; an excerpt from Joyce Carol Oates's ""All the Good People
I've Left Behind""; a selection from ""Tender at the Bone: Growing
Up at the Table"" by food writer and ""Gourmet"" magazine editor
Ruth Reichl; and much more. This is more than a series of portraits
on Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan; it is a miniature time
capsule, a look into the shifting cultural currents of the last two
centuries from some of the greatest thinkers and writers of that
time.
