Has the futureever more people with their houses, stores, roads,
and sprawlbeen wrecking your past? Melissa Holbrook Pierson, with
unalloyed insight, elucidates how it feels to lose that landscape
of home. In the past twenty years, like countless towns it
resembles, Akron, Ohio, has lost its singularity, and much of what
native-daughter Pierson loves about it. She then moves to Hoboken,
New Jersey, a forgotten appendage of New Yorkuntil stockbrokers
discover it. Finally, she speaks of rural areas, telling of the
thousands of upstate New Yorkers displaced by city reservoirs. A
unique book uniquely of our moment: This is what it feels like to
lose the place you love.
