Home Town

By Kidder, Tracy & Krall, Daamien

Publishers Summary:
In this splendid program, one of America's masters of nonfiction takes us home-into Hometown, U.S.A., the town of Northampton, Massachusetts, and into the extraordinary and the ordinary lives that people live there. Tracy Kidder reveals how, beneath its amiable surface, a small town is a place of startling complexity. He explores what it takes to make a modern small city a success story. Weaving together compelling stories of individual lives, delving into a rich and varied past, moving among all the levels of Northampton's social hierarchy, Kidder reveals the sheer abundance of life contained within a town's narrow boundaries. Does the kind of small town that many American's come from, and long for, still exist? Kidder says it does, although not quite in the form we may imagine. An audio program about civilization and microcosm, Home Town makes us marvel afresh at the wonder of individuality, creativity, and civic order-how a disparate group of individuals can find common cause and a code of values that transforms a place into a home. This audio makes you feel as if you live there.
