“According to the Post-Gazette article, writers are realizing how great Pittsburgh is, and moving there en-masse.
“Of course, the article makes clear, it’s not about the money (there is not much)—it’s about being able to attend Encyclopedia Destructica’s weekly ‘binding parties,’ where tomes are produced ‘with a zine attitude and a book aesthetic.’
“Or stumbling upon Dirty Poet’s ‘publications,’ all of which are written on lampposts around town. Or hanging at bookstores called things like Caliban, Copacetic Comics, Slacker, and Phantom of the Attic.”
At The Book Bench this week, a strong case is made for Pittsburgh being a new literary Mecca.
