“This book feels like a guided tour of Williamsburg, delivered not by a tour guide, but by a friend. A friend who takes you by the hand and shows you the best hole-in-the-wall doughnut shop ever, the office park where they went to therapy, the theater where they spent countless late nights at rehearsal. This book reminded me that writing about place is about us just as much as it’s about cities and landscapes.” —Eleanor Ball, Barrelhouse Reviews
