What does it mean to deeply love a home place that haunts us still?
From Mark Twain to Grant Wood to Garrison Keillor, regionalists
from the Gilded Age to the Digital Age have explored the American
Gothic and the homegrown fatalism that flourish in many of the
nation's most far-flung and forgotten places. The Haunt of Home
introduces us to a cast of real-life Midwestern characters
grappling with the Gothic in their own lives, from promising young
professionals debating the perennial "Should I stay or should I go"
dilemma, to recent emigres and entrepreneurs seeking personal
reinvention, to faithful boosters determined to keep their
communities alive despite the odds. In The Haunt of Home Zachary
Michael Jack considers the many ways a region's abiding spirit
shapes the ethos of a land and its people, offering portraits of
others who, like himself, are determined to live out the unique
promise and predicament of the Gothic.
