New places and new voices make up Hub City Anthology 2, a collection of creative nonfiction set in and around the city of Spartanburg, S.C. From a window seat on a city bus to the hard pews of a country church, from a loading dock to a horse farm, these writers explore their relationships to the community that either gave birth to or nourished their art.Writing with humor, passion, and self-revelation, fourteen new Hub City writers take readers on a rambling tour of their hometown: a college campus at 3 a.m., a mill village in the grip of economic change, a junior high school confronting integration, a mortuary, an old-time barbershop, a retirement home, and a depot diner. Emerging from their essays is a greater story about the complexities of community life.

Dont waste your time. Re read the first anthology,
By GH "Ross" (Southeast United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hub City Anthology 2: More Spartanburg Writers & Artists (Paperback)
When I heard a second "Hub City" anthology had been published I instantly began the search for it. The first one was a really good book and I assumed the second one would be even better. Boy, was I wrong. They should have chosen another name for this collection of words. This book is in no way related to the first.... not by style, emotion or in character.
