Indiana, Indiana
Indiana, Indiana: (the Dark and Lovely Portions of the Night) : a Novel | Laird Hunt
7 posts | 3 to read
"In the center of the county in the center of Indiana in the heart of the country, and down a long, dark hallway," Noah Summers, a simple man who has led a far from simple life, sits before a flickering fire, drifting in and out of sleep. On this dark and lovely winter night, he sifts through the shards of his memories trying to make sense of a lifetime of psychic visions and his family's tumultuous history on an Indiana farmstead. Decades have passed since Noah first fell in love with Opal, a brilliant young woman with a penchant for flames. The couple lives together for forty-two idyllic days before Opal, overcome by her fiery inclinations, is obliged to leave. Noah, whose love never wavers over the long years that follow, finds himself forced to rely on her letters, his memories and the strength of his family to sustain him.

For some reason, Instagram consistently thinks I live in Indiana and not Kentucky. BUT at least now they‘re showing me merch I would actually buy if I were a Hoosier! 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

Hubby and I are thinking about a long weekend in Indianapolis in a month or so. Anyone have recommendations for bookstores we should visit when we're there? Anything else we should definitely see? We have visited the Vonnegut museum before, but will likely go again.

GondorGirl There are three or four Half Price Books near Indy... not exactly small independent stores, but we always hit them when we're in town. 6y
goodbyefrancie @GondorGirl We will definitely visit them. Their clearance section is awesome! 6y
Pamwurtzler If you like sports, the NCAA headquarters is there. It‘s an interesting museum. St. Elmo‘s steakhouse is supposed to be fantastic too! 6y
lauralovesbooks1 Books & Brews locations are supposed to be neat. Broad Ripple neighborhood is wonderful. 6y
goodbyefrancie @Pamwurtzler @lauralovesbooks1 Thanks for the suggestions! Sounds wonderful! 6y

I‘m a born and raised Hoosier from Indianapolis, IN🌽 I love my city (and state) and the fact that it‘s grown culturally over the last few years!

So @Tianarose started this #WhereOnEarth tag and I‘d love to see where everyone else is from!

Laura317 Loved visiting your city when we were in nearby Fishers 7y
knittedgnome I spent time in Indy with time to explore last year and was surprised how much I loved it! Such a cool place. I'm from SW Michigan. 7y
eanderson I‘m a Hoosier as well! :) 7y
Redwritinghood I‘m also from Indiana (Bedford), but haven‘t lived there for almost 30 years. A lot of my family is still there, though. 7y
