'Being in an Indie Bookstore Is a Glimpse into a Community More Broadly'
"At first, I thought I wasn't going to miss touring for my new book at all, but I ended up missing it a lot. I missed the booksellers I meet on the road who are so kind and eager to show me the world they live in: restaurants, sneaker spots, music spots. Being in an indie bookstore is a glimpse into a community more broadly, and I really appreciate that."
--Hanif Abdurraqib, author most recently of A Little Devil in America, in an Indianapolis Monthly q&a response to the question: "Why do local bookstores mean so much to you?"
