Synopsis:

Winner of the Gold IPPY Award fore Best Anthology and the Eric Hoffer Award for Best Book about Culture

Award-winning 27 Views of Hillsborough is an anthology about life in a small Southern town. 
Something other than history has drawn dozens of writers to make this much storied, colonial town their home. In 27 Views of Hillsborough, over two dozen authors who currently live here or who have lived here in the past use essays, short stories, and poetry to tell of the community's past and present. Some of the authors whose work is included are Allan Gurganus, Lee Smith, Michael Malone, Randall Kenan, Jill McCorkle, Craig Nova, Barry Jacobs, Peter Wood, Jerry Eidenier, Nancy Goodwin, Hal Crowther, Jaki Shelton Green, and Jeffrey Beam.

Review:

If there are hot spots on the globe, as the ancients believed, Hillsborough must be one of them. I can't count the number of historic markers in the gracious old town. More recently, some ground force is attracting an astonishing number of writers, artists, and musicians. On a stroll along the main street, you'll likely pass the author of one of your favorite books, the director of a great documentary, or a blues guitar player you always admired. Say hello. The natives are friendly. --Frances Mayes
