Why do all those people live there, and what do they do to stay sane? 35 writers, along with nine illustrators and photographers, look at the Twin Cities—and Minnesota generally—from a range of angles: sarcastic, enthusiastic, poetic, aesthetic, historical, critical, apocryphal. Whether you're a lifelong Minnesotan or just Gopher-curious, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll pour yourself a whiskey on the rocks. From the people who brought you The Tangential and MPLSzine, Bright Lights, Twin Cities will keep you turning e-pages until you have to put your mittens back on.
