Gentrifier: a memoir / Anne Elizabeth Moore 254 pgs.
Virginia Woolf knew that to write, you need a space. Anne Elizabeth Moore accepts a space in the form of a house in Detroit that is given to her. The organization has good intentions of giving houses to writers. Moore befriends her mostly Bengali neighbors and starts a garden. She does research on the problems in Detroit with housing and neglect. She ends up spending quite a bit of money on her free house teaching us to be wary of accepting "free" things. Very interesting stuff.
