The midwest is great because it hasn't been entirely claimed. There's more room to write about it; it's harder to write about New York, because even if you've never been there, you think you know what it's like. To do it in any sort of fresh way is trickier.

Everyone is going to bring their own bundle of prejudices and viewpoints and experiences to it.
