Description
New Jersey Fan Club: 40 Voices Celebrate the Garden State is an eclectic anthology featuring personal and reported essays, comics, and artwork from a diverse group of established and emerging writers and artists who have something to say about New Jersey. It's a literary look at New Jersey's history and significance, told through photographs, food writing, interviews, comics, and narrative nonfiction. It's an evergreen tribute to the state and an exploration of how the same place can shape people in different ways. This book is not meant to be a travel guide. You won't find any lists of the state's top breweries or best small towns here. Still, it will inspire you to look at New Jersey in a different way, to look closer at the historical markers in your hometown, to explore things the state has to offer that you may not have noticed before. New Jersey Fan Club was edited by the founder of Jersey Collective, one of New Jersey's most popular Instagram accounts that features weekly takeovers by different New Jerseyans. This book functions the same way: it gives dozens of different contributors space to share what New Jersey looks like to them.
