Stop fantasizing about the heartland and its values and start listening to it instead. Here is the true voice of the America we like to imagine as the repository of national virtue. How different from what we expect, and yet how trenchant it is. --Thomas Frank, Bestselling Author of What's the Matter with Kansas? Timely . . . [the collection] paints intimate portraits of neglected places that are often used as political talking points. A good companion piece to J. D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. --Booklist The fresh, directly-told, and timely accounts of Voices from the Rust Belt make it a welcome and engaging addition to the literature of the American urban Midwest. And in the current political context of a Make America Great Again presidency this book, with its diverse, complex vision of the so-called Rust Belt, affords a crucial corrective to the simplistic, clich�d, backward-looking narrative of regional American history and of its values both past and present. --Stuart Dybek, author of The Coast of Chicago The two dozen writers in Voices from the Rust Belt can't possibly cover all of the wrinkles and shades particular to a place whose boundaries aren't even unanimously agreed upon, but it's a good place to start. --Salon There has plenty of recent effort to answer the questions of the Rust Belt. This book goes one better: It deepens the questions. Voices from the Rust Belt is a vital, richly textured addition to the national conversation, the truth told from the inside at a time when our region needs it most. --David Giffels, author of Furnishing Eternity and The Hard Way on Purpose: Essays and Dispatches from the Rust Belt These essays go a long way toward expanding the narrative about the Rust Belt in that they refute stereotypes, explore a vastly varied series of experiences, and provide a valuable history lesson on industrialism. --Publishers Weekly An impressively diverse array of voices, including men, women, gay, straight, black, white, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and others. . .significant. --Kirkus
