Ebook: The Indianapolis Anthology

Is Indy just another Midwestern city to fly over on the way to bigger and better destinations? Or is it, as locals know, a place where different peoples and ideals converge to create a rich cultural center? The Indianapolis Anthology showcases Naptown's vibrancy and diversity with pieces from journalists, poets, historians, established community voices, and first-time writers. Indianapolis is more than the home of the Indianapolis 500, John Dillinger, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Kurt Vonnegut, Prozac, and Wonder Bread. Here is a taste of what you will find in these pages: lawn chairs in the beds of pick-ups; the magnificent stench of diesel, sweat, and sweetly hissing charcoal; suffragists and entrepreneurs; cement pietàs; sneakers dangling from power lines; dog bakeries and yoga studios; red brick bungalows and war memorials; steakburgers and Mexican seafood; pho and sauerbraten. In other words, you'll find images from a city that is truly a cross section of today's America.
