| Abstract | "27 VIEWS of GREENSBORO: The Gate City in Prose & Poetry, an anthology of the city once known for textile mills and as a train hub, now known for diversity, education, and sports. Twenty-seven journalists, novelists, poets, and essayists offer a broad and varied picture of life, present and past, in the Southern city--from the city's brief stint as capital of the Confederacy to stories of its famous and less well-known civil rights protests, from reflections on Greensboro's overwhelming growth to a profile of the man who created Vicks VapoRub. Authors appreciate Greensboro's cultural richness and vitality, yet do not shy away from its ongoing struggles: cultural, political, and economic. 27 Views is "part personal history, part fact, part fiction, part reminiscence, part advocacy, part deconstruction, part inquisition, part celebration," says Marianne Gingher, the novelist and almost-lifelong resident who writes the book's introduction. "In delightfully variant voices, these twenty-seven writers deliver a chorus of resonant impressions, insights, and clear-eyed truths about Greensboro as they have known it.""--Publisher's website. |
