Susan Lander's Franklinstein, a hybrid genre collection of poetry and prose, tells the story of one Philadelphia neighborhood, Germantown-- an historic, beloved place, wrestling wi th legacies of colonialism, racism, and capitalism. Drawing from interviews, historical research, and two divergent but quintessential American texts (The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and Gertrude Stein' s The Making of Americans), Landers' Franklinstein is a monster readers have not encountered before.
