A Skeptic's Guide to Writers' Houses
Anne Trubek
In A Skeptic's Guide to Writers' Houses Anne Trubek takes a vexed, often funny, and always thoughtful tour of a number of house museums across the nation which have become meccas for the literary public. These include Ernest Hemingway's shrine in Key West, the home of the young Samuel Clemens in Hannibal, MO, homes for Hawthorne, Emerson adn Thoreau in Concord, MA and the many sites devoted to Edgar Allen Poe. Cited as an anti-travel guide, A Skeptic's Guide to Writers' Houses explores places that have served as pilgrimage sites, tokens of local pride and color, and zones that make us think about the complexities of literary and historical interpretation.
