The Sprawl

A Coffee House Press essay collection arguing that American suburbs have been more of an artistic incubator than the usual narratives allow. Jason Diamond rejects the cliché of suburban emptiness in favor of specific places and specific artists. The book is compact, with a cover that looks like a zoning map and the small-press production values that Coffee House maintains even when the author is becoming well known. Ideal reader: the reader who grew up in a subdivision and resents being told it was culturally dead, or the urbanist who needs a counterargument to the downtown bias.
