Review Dale Patrick Brown deftly raises Cincinnatis rich history of writers and writing from undeserved obscurity to its proper place in the C.V. of one of Americas great cities. The collection of authors with Cincinnati connections, from Harriet Beecher Stowe to John Berryman, will surprise and please all readers, but it will be especially gratifying to those who have labored under the misapprehension that literature is something that happens somewhere else. Albert Pyle, executive director, The Mercantile LibraryBrowns most memorable and animated stories involve dinner parties, martinis, skinnydipping, and visiting poets. Such modest places in the middle (of the country) have contributed greatly to the literary life of this nation, something Dale Brown reminds us of in her engaging literary history. Resources for American LIteratureBrowns informative and entertaining book is a welcome catalogue of the personalities and authors who once and happily still fill (bookstores). Indiana Magazine of HistoryBrowns intuition is spot on in creating a book which can be enjoyed by literati, historians, and the general public, and would be not only a useful tool in teaching the history of Cincinnati, but also makes for excellent pleasure reading. Ohioana QuarterlyBrowns book is beautifully developed and meticulously researched. It provides insight into Cincinnati's literary past that will be of interest to both historians and literary enthusiasts.
