What is Good roots : writers reflect on growing up in Ohio about?

Winner of the Ohioana Librarys 2008 Ohio Legacy Citation 2014-2015 Choose to Read Ohio selection A good place to be from. Thats how some people might characterize the Buckeye State. The writings in Good Writers Reflect on Growing Up in Ohio , are testimony to the truth of that statement. By prominent writers such as P. J. ORourke, Susan Orlean, and Alix Kates Shulman, these contributions are alternately nostalgic, irreverent, and sincere, and offer us a personal sense of place. Their childhoods are as varied as their work. Some were raised in urban Cleveland, Akron, and Cincinnati, others in the small Ohio towns that typify the Midwest, and still others in the countryside. Yet what they have to tell us about their roots resonates with a shared heritage, a sense of what is universal and enduring about growing up in the heartland. Their collective rsum reads like a literary Whos Who, including four Pulitzer Prizes, several National Book Awards, and many prestigious fellowships. Good Roots is also plain good reading from some of our countrys most accomplished contemporary writers. Contributors include : Jill Bialosky, Dan Cryer, Michael Dirda, Elizabeth Dodd, Anthony Doerr, Rita Dove,
