Product Information: - Title of Product: Homing: Instincts of a Rustbelt Feminist by Flick, Sherrie [Royal Edition] Author: Flick, Sherrie Number of Pages: 178 Publication Year: 2024 Language: English Book Synopsis: - 2025 WCoNA Book of the Year Award Longlist Homing: Instincts of a Rustbelt Feminist traces the creative coming of age of a mill-town feminist. Sherrie Flick, whose childhood spanned the 1970s rise and 1980s collapse of the steel industry, returned to Pittsburgh in the late 1990s, witnessing the region's before and its after. With essays braiding, unbraiding, and then tangling the story of the author's father with Andy Warhol, faith, dialect, labor, whiskey, Pittsburgh's South Side Slopes neighborhood, grief, gardening, the author's compulsion to travel, and her reluctance to return home, Flick examines how place shaped her experiences of sexism and feminism. She also looks at the changing food and art cultures and the unique geography that has historically kept this weird hilly place isolated from trendy change. Carefully researched, deeply personal, and politically grounded in place and identity, Homing is an explicitly feminist and anti-nostalgic intervention in writing about the Rustbelt.

Absolutely PERFECT transaction! I ordered this book mid April, and when I hadn't seen any activity for a few days I decided to contact the seller (normally items paid are usually shipped within 2-3 days and this was going a week, so it raised a red flag). Due to my own ignorance, I was reassured immediately that the book's cover was being hand crafted and would take time, explaining the extra time. Long story short, this was worth the wait!Very responsive seller, HIGHLY recommended. THANK YOU!

Everything is fine, but the seller told me I could have an engraving placed on the cover. I sent them a picture of the engraving, and they acknowledged they got it, but when I got the item they never did it. In addition they claim they never got my picture which is not true, seeing I have their email response. I was disappointed by this, but I would have gotten this book even without the engraving, so all is well.

I was very happy to see how well packaged my book I ordered was, double rain-proof, because it was left on the steps and was quite wet from heavy rain. But, inside double wrapping, it was very dry and in great condition. Very happy with seller!
