A Guide to Midwestern Conversation
Book • 2023
This book is a witty and self-deprecating examination of Midwestern language and culture.
It includes guides, tips, and profiles of all the Midwestern states, highlighting phrases like 'I didn’t really care for it' and 'a short drive' (less than eight hours), as well as topics such as sports talk, hostess gifts, and the significance of finished basements and garage fridges.
Written by Taylor Kay Phillips, a born-and-bred Midwesterner now living in New York City, the book is both a celebration and a gentle poke at Midwestern culture.
