Here, among the graceful, poignant, and often hilarious remembered momentspranks played on a severe teacher, the family’s unlikely mob connections, a rare childhood afflictionare the coordinates of Duluth’s larger landscape: the diners and supper clubs, the baseball teams, radio days, and the smelt-fishing rites of spring. Woven through these tales of Duluth are Fedo’s curious, instructive, and ultimately deeply moving stories about becoming a writer, from the guidance of an English teacher to the fourteen-year-old reporter’s interview with Louis Armstrong to his absorption in the events that would culminate in his provocative and influential book
These are the sorts of essayspersonal, cultural, and historical, at once regional and far-reachingthat together create a picture of people in a place as rich in history and anecdote as Duluth and of the forces that forever bind them together.
