Special Places: In Search of Small Town America
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


Seven American towns, each with its own dreams, its aspirations and desperations, its sense of limits. Special Places reveals them to us in the graceful and stylish prose of Berton Roueche, with whom readers of The New Yorker have long been familiar. More than a collection of travel pieces, his prose portraits evoke the heart and soul of the places he visits.
