Literary Detroit
I love reading books that I can relate to; so, I love reading stories based in Detroit. This site has a listing of books based in Detroit or authored by Detroit writers. Just goes to show you that Detroit has a lot to offer in terms of a great setting and a talented author pool.
As far as I’m concerned any list of authors from Detroit or influenced by Detroit *HAS* to include Jeffrey Eugenides. In my mind, he wrote the book on 20th century Detroit – Middlesex. He had some success with the Virgin Suicides as well, which takes place in the Grosse Pointes.
I was wondering about that oversight as well.
