Nightswimming

Books for literate cities
Minneapolis and St. Paul both made the top 10 list of most literate US cities in the annual Central Connecticut State University survey, at 3 and 7, respectively. Flavorwire picked a book to represent each city: for Minneapolis, they picked The Night of the Gun by David Carr, and for St. Paul, Until They Bring the Streetcars Back by Stanley Gordon West. I’ve read the West, but not yet the Carr; personally, I would have picked The Boat of Longing by Ole Rølvaag for Minneapolis, and “This Side of Paradise” by F. Scott Fitzgerald for St. Paul, but I’m a bit old fashioned. ()
