I'm not sure if anyone without ties to Detroit would feel the same, but I'm looooooving this book. While documenting the corruption and ruin, I get the impression this is also a love letter to a city he calls home. As someone who was born in Detroit, and spent much time there in the places he talks about while growing up, I'm feeling nostalgia and sadness at the same time. #Detroit #nofilter #ItReallyLooksThisBad 😔
SqueakyChu I‘m not from #Detroit, but you should read some of the books by Michael Zadoorian. This is an author who truly loves his city! 7y
LittlePixels @SqueakyChu I'd never heard of him, but his books do look interesting, especially his latest. I think I'll track it and wait for a price drop ($16 for a Kindle book? 😱), but I'm definitely putting it on my TBR. Thanks! (edited) 7y
SqueakyChu @LittlePixels I‘m reading Beautiful Music now. I won that book as a free #EarlyReviewer on #LibraryThing. Read his book The Leisure Seekers before you see the film made from the book. Best of all were his short stories in The Lost Tiki Palaces of #Detroit. Enjoy! (edited) 7y
