Richard Powers kicks off a special feature in Design Observer on place in fiction, which will run throughout August. As a departure from their usual analysis and critique, they’ll be featuring short stories and novel excerpts in which place is central to mood and meaning. They have work lined up from some of the very best contemporary writers of place: Urban Waite, Emily Mitchell, Barry Lopez, Anthony Doerr, Ashleigh Pedersen, Ryan Harty and Danielle Dutton. (Look for two stories a week from Aug. 8 to Aug. 29.)
