In Which the Artist Promotes Three Books of Flint or Set in Flint / by Tim Lane

There are three fairly recent books out these days that are about the city of Flint, Michigan, or set in Flint, Michigan. I’m talking about my 80s-coming-of-age and ode-to-new wave music novel, Your Silent Face, which came out in paperback in 2021, Kelsey Ronan’s new release, Chevy in the Hole, and Gordon Young’s memoir, Tear-Down: Memoir of a Vanishing City. All three of us grew up in Flint. All three of us have our own complicated relationship with this Midwestern factory town that has had its American struggles. Why not bundle all three?
