Product Description
The Turnpike. The Parkway. The Shore. Malls. Mobsters. Bad accents. No other state in America elicits reaction quite like New Jersey. Though the Garden State has risen to the top of pop culture consciousness, its significant and diverse literary culture has gone sorely under the radar--until now.

What's Your Exit? A Literary Detour through New Jersey is a collection of contemporary fiction, poetry, and essay inspired by a place that piques the curiosity of all who have set foot in it...and those who haven't. Themes of family, friendship, sex, love, fear, nostalgia and longing populate this anthology, which features forty-nine writers whose visions of the Jersey landscape are as eclectic and beautiful, and as unnerving and mysterious and bold as the place that unites them. ...

an artfully curated representation of NJ's long-standing literary tradtion.
In this post-Sopranos age where New Jersey is most often seen through the lens of reality tv shows littered with big hair, acrylic nails and orange tans, this anthology is a much needed reminder that the "armpit of America" has long been an epicenter of literary activity, from Walt Whitman to the beat poets to to current greats like Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Pinsky and Tom Perotta. Editors Joe Vallese and Alica Beale, both talented emerging writers and New Jersey natives, have put together a superb collection of work by established and new writers, organized by theme, genre and, of course, exits off the turnpike and the parkway. Anyone who has ever lived, visited, or driven through New Jersey (the rest of the state doesn't smell like the turnpike, we swear!) should pick up a copy of this book. ... Read more

Excellent Book
This book was an excellent compendium of stories and interviews that provide a baseline of hope for the Green movement. But it is more -- it illustrates the limits of our current political system and shows how the needs of our citizens are constantly sacrificed for the benefit of multi-national corporations. Although the subtitle is "success stories from the grassroots", it really is as much a call to grassroots political activism as it is a celebration of it. Basically, the message is that people have to get to work, starting in their own neighborhoods and working outward and upward because positive change is very unlikely to come down to us from the top.

One of the most significant issues this book addresses is the fact that corporations have become entities that enjoy all the benefits that "people" do, but have none of the burdens of accountability that people have. Corporations were originally entities formed on a temporary basis and their charters had to be reviewed and re-approved, and would get "re-approval" if what they did benefited their communities. Now corporations operate like armies without countries, able to impose their laws on cities, states and nations. Thus companies are free to poison our ground, water and air, and in some cases literally kill people, with impunity. As a result, cities, towns and so on around the nation have been amending their charters to assert their sovereignity over their own communities. The lesson there is that many efforts need to be multi-pronged - the political problem needs to be addressed before the environmental problem can be solved.

Also of note is the theme of empowerment - teaching citizens that they can effect change, and how they can do it.

There was really a lot packed into this book and I highly recommend it.

Empowering and exciting
