Townie: A Memoir | Andre Dubus III

I‘ve never noticed the setting of a book so intently before. I love reading books that are contemporary and set in real places. Most of the time I‘m reading, i either know a place fairly well, or I don‘t. Haverhill in the 70s had to have been very different, and I don‘t know Haverhill that well anyway. I find myself trying to imagine the places mentioned and I can just barely imagine them. #haverhill #newengland

Leftcoastzen I loved that book. 5y
saguarosally @Leftcoastzen I‘m almost done. I need to go walking through Haverhill again soon to get more of an idea of the geography of the town based on the markers in the book. It appears navigation here by locals is very different from how I try to navigate as an outsider. 5y
