Reading SeattleThe City in Prose
Edited by Peter Donahue and John Trumbold
This is another recommended book from our series of literary diversions from high speed rail that describe American urban life. This book selects excerpts from novels, short stories and essays from Seattle's history, and paints an evolution of the lives of people who live in a maritime and walkable urban environment.
"No prose anthology, in my view, could be more helpful--to immigrants or lifelong residents-- in delivering Seattle's relatively recent but startingly rich history and diverse literary voices than [this] volume... For those unable to live in or visit this ever-surprising city, Reading Seattle may just be the next best thing."
