I was looking at a map of the US yesterday and came up with a list of favorite contemporary writers and the georaphical area that they are associated with.
Mostly, these are not urban places. Do I enjoy rural authors (whether despite or because of my suburban location), or do great authors tend to be inspired by rural locations? It would be interesting to map a longer list of authors and see which areas are covered.
| Bloom | New Haven, Connecticut |
| Dillard | Tinker Creek, Virginia |
| Helprin | Hudson Valley, New York |
| Paglia | Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia |
| Jim Harrison | Northern Michigan |
| Berry | Henry County, Kentucky |
| Stuart Davis | Minnesota; Colorado |
| Wilber | Boulder, Colorado |
| Pirsig | Bozeman, Montana |
| MacLean | Montana |
| Feuerstein | Northern California |
| Easwaran | SF Bay area, California |
| Snyder | Sierra Nevada Mnts, California |
