Rust Belt Chic

by Anne Trubek (Editor), Richey Piiparinen (Editor)

Overview

Rust Belt Chic: The Cleveland Anthology, edited by Richey Piiparinen and Anne Trubek, provides an inside-out snapshot of our city, containing contributions by established authors such as Connie Schultz, Michael Ruhlman and David Giffels as well as 47 others. Rust Belt Chic tells stories about failure (mills closing), conflict (Pekar's constant grousing), growth (a thriving Iraqi immigrant community) and renewal (moving away only to, finally, return home). Put together, these stories create a new narrative about our city that incorporates but deepens and widens the familiar tropes of manufacturing, stadiums and comebacks.
