Customer Reviews

Exactly what I was looking for

The editorial review above faults this anthology for including writers not from or living in the Northwest, and including instead writers from elsewhere writing about the Northwest. I disagree with this criticism. This book is an exposition of place, and is focused on the place, not the writers who live here. If you want to better understand what this place is, where we are and how we got here, this book addresses that perfectly. I got this book because I wanted a better understanding of the region where I was born, grew up, and love so much, and it gave me exactly that.
