"Lee Gutkind's Lessons in Persuasion not only honors the city of Pittsburgh, it reinforces through its wide-ranging and uniformly brilliant selections the notion--too often forgotten--that place, after family, is the second cradle of language, and that writers write best when they draw on the energies of their formation." --Sven Birkerts, "Lee Gutkind's Lessons in Persuasion not only honors the city of Pittsburgh, it reinforces through its wide-ranging and uniformly brilliant selections the notion--too often forgotten--that place, after family, is the second cradle of language, and that writers write best when they draw on the energies of their formation." --Sven Birkerts, "Lee Gutkind's Lessons in Persuasion not only honors the city of Pittsburgh, it reinforces through its wide-ranging and uniformly brilliant selections the notion-too often forgotten-that place, after family, is the second cradle of language, and that writers write best when they draw on the energies of their formation." -Sven Birkerts

Synopsis
Pittsburgh has always been--despite its industrial reputation--a great city in which to be a writer. Its active, close-knit writing community has seen the rise of several luminaries with Pittsburgh connections, such as Annie Dillard and Stewart O'Nan, and the caliber of Pittsburgh's writing community today is better than ever. Lee Gutkind has assembled a reunion of sorts with writers from across the nation, as well as the up-and-coming stars on the local scene--each of whom has a Pittsburgh connection. Many grew up in the region, others attended college here: all of them have an association with the city. The resulting collection of essays is both gentle and jarring, eclectic and persuasive, covering a range of topics--from a stripper's work ethic to West Virginia's famed Matewan shootout, Atlantic City's Boardwalk before Donald Trump, and the uses of poetry to better understand one's own life. Although Pittsburgh is not the subject of most of the essays, these writers are bound by their affinity for the written word and their collective fondness for Pittsburgh., Writers from across the nation--each with a Pittsburgh connection --cover topics from stripper's work to West Virginia's famed Matewan shootout, and Atlantic City's Boardwalk before Donald Trump. Contributors incl. Annie Dillard, Diane Ackerman, Stewart O' Nan, & a photo essay on photographer Charles "Teenie" Harris.

- d***u (2388)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaTook a while to arrive, but, great book at a great price, as described, good seller. Thanks! A previous book from this seller took only four days to be delivered, while this time it took nearly two weeks. Not sure what's up with that.
- u***u (749)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.World Film Locations: Singapore, , Very Good Book (#354968895445)
