This is the kind of book that I often lose interest in, and sometimes walk away from wishing it were a magazine article instead. But that didn't happen here, and it's a credit to Binelli's talents as a storyteller. This is a terrific portrait of a ci...more
Patrick Brown is on page 176 of 318 of Detroit City Is the Place to Be: The section on the school district made me realize what this reminds me of: The Wire. High praise coming from me.

Aimee Bender
“Several of the girls at the party had had sex, something which sounded appealing but only if it could happen with blindfolds in a time warp plus amnesia”
Aimee Bender, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

Chad Harbach
“So much of one's life was spent reading; it made sense not to do it alone.”
Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding

“My swag was phenomenal.”
Gilbert Arenas

John Edward Williams
“To read without joy is stupid.”
John Edward Williams

Jennifer Egan
“We stand there, quiet. My questions all seem wrong: How did you get so old? Was it all at once, in a day, or did you peter out bit by bit? When did you stop having parties? Did everyone else get old too, or was it just you? Are other people still here, hiding in the palm trees or holding their breath underwater? When did you last swim your laps? Do your bones hurt? Did you know this was coming and hide that you knew, or did it ambush you from behind?”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad
