Robert Yune, author of Eighty Days of Sunlight, on “The 22 Indisputable Reasons is the Perfect City for Writers.” One of our favorites:
“I’m not sure how the subject came up, but I remember Stewart O’Nan saying that the Carnegie Library system, with its 19 branches, is one reason the city has produced so many great writers. You could just see him transported back to his childhood when he reminisced about the bookmobile. For what it’s worth, it’s easy to view Pittsburghers as rabid, over-the-top fans. And they are, but the truth is that Pittsburghers voted against using public money to build Heinz Field—Heinz Field!—and voted to increase their own property taxes to fund the city’s libraries.”
