| Summary: | 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, including 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." |
