Franklinstein

By Susan Landers

Book Overview

Susan Lander's Franklinstein, a hybrid genre collection of poetry and prose, tells the story of one Philadelphia neighborhood, Germantown-- an historic, beloved place, wrestling with legacies of colonialism, racism, and capitalism. Drawing from interviews, historical research, and two divergent but quintessential American texts (The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and Gertrude Stein' s The Making of Americans), Landers' Franklinstein is a monster readers have not encountered before.
