The Indianapolis Anthology
Part of Belt's city anthology series, a reconsideration of one of America's most misunderstood cities.Is Indianapolis just another midwestern city to fly over on the way to bigger and better destinations? Or is it, as locals know, a place where different peoples and ideals converge to create a rich cultural center? The Indianapolis Anthology showcases Naptown's vibrancy and diversity with pieces from journalists, poets, historians, established community voices, and first-time writers. The Circle City is more than the home of the Indianapolis 500, John Dillinger, Kenneth Babyface Edmonds, Kurt Vonnegut, Prozac, and Wonder Bread. In these pages, you'll find:- lawn chairs in the beds of pick-ups- Punk rock in Naptown- suffragists and entrepreneurs- cement pietàs- dog bakeries and yoga studios- red brick bungalows and war memorials- steakburgers and Mexican seafood; pho and sauerbraten.In other words, you'll find images from a city that is truly a cross section of today's America.
