Place plays an important role in literature; numerous American novels strongly evoke the cities, regions, and countrysides in which they are set. Earlier this year, novelist Susan Straight wrote an essay entitled "There are Riches Here" about "books, geography, and America." Straight also teamed up with the Ersi story map team to create this interactive map that places 737 novels across the United States. As visitors zoom in on each state or region, they can view a series of novels that are set there, accompanied by a short description. In addition to exploring this map, visitors can also check out Susan Straight's essay, accompanied by photographs and maps, via a link on the top of this webpage. This project provides a delightful way to discover (or rediscover) books closely tied to parts of the United States, from Maine to Alaska.
