Description
What does the future hold for the Midwest? A vast stretch of fertile farmland bordering one of the
largest concentrations of fresh water in the world, the Midwestern US seems ideally situated for
the coming challenges of climate change. But it also sits at the epicenter of a massive economic
collapse that many of its citizens are still struggling to overcome. The question of what the Midwest
is (and what it will become) is nothing new. As Phil Christman writes in this idiosyncratic new book,
ambiguity might be the region's defining characteristic. Taking a cue from Jefferson’s grid, the
famous rectangular survey of the Old Northwest Territory that turned everything from Ohio to
Wisconsin into square-mile lots, Christman breaks his exploration of Midwestern identity, past and
present, into 36 brief, interconnected essays. The result is a sometimes sardonic, often
uproarious, and consistently thought-provoking look at a misunderstood place and the people who
call it home.
