This was my Detroit, too, though I was born in '68: worldly and provincial, hot & sticky, Black and White and Jewish and ill-at-ease with itself.

I've often thought that Detroit's history as a city forecast a lot of what came to pass all over the US economically and socially in the 70s. It's enlightening to receive glimpses of that bigger picture, through the lens of a memoir; it's a living snapshot from a place that has a lot to say. Waiting for more...!
