I'm new to this site and a Clevelander. This group caught my eye.
I took a peek at some of your lists and have picked up some interesting future titles for my "to read list".
Although I am interested in local history and othe non fiction topics that would relate to life in the Rust Belt, I wonder about "Rust Belt Fiction".
Does anyone have any suggestions for good fiction set in, what I think of as the Rust Belt: Michigan, Ohio and over to Erie/Pittsburgh PA and Buffalo. I have a special interest in Cleveland and the northern part of Ohio.
I have read CROOKED RIVER BURNING by Mark Winegardner. I've also read A SIMPLE PLAN by Scott Smith, which is set in the Toledo area (and calls to mind the flatlands that surrounded me during my college years.) Most of my other Cleveland reading has been of the local history/local crime variety.
