Eddie and I read this book together when driving on trips out of the area. (I read aloud while he drives, our version of an audiobook.) As a native Detroiter, LeDuff's combination memoir and journalistic report provides a gritty, honest, depressing, uplifting, and insightful look into a failing city. You'll likely love or hate LeDuff and/or the book; we leaned toward the first.
Five of five stars. If you like other Sedaris, you'll enjoy this just as much. (I'm
catching up on my neglected blog, so these are short entries. Post a comment if
you read the book--or are interested in doing so--and I'll share more!)
