Mark Vanhoenacker "Imagine a City" event at Northshire Bookstore

Knopf

In his small New England hometown, Mark Vanhoenacker spent his childhood dreaming of the distant, real cities he found on the illuminated globe in his bedroom, and of one perfect metropolis that existed only in his imagination.

In "Imagine a City," Vanhoenacker weaves travelogue with memoir, Mark celebrates the cities he has come to know and to love, through the lens of the hometown his heart has never quite left.

Police are summoned, and a punishing judge sentences her to six months of home confinement.

As she tries to adapt to life within her apartment walls, she discovers she hasn’t heard the end of that tattletale neighbor.
