The Wall Street journal profiles the book "Getting Ghost." "Getting Ghost" was written by two young drug dealers and thier view of the city.

Except for a few bright pockets around town,this is the Detroit I know.I'm sad to even think about the city I was born in this way.This article brings home thoughts of our man on ice,a disgraced mayor leaving town and a sad gray winter sky....

It was not written by two young drug dealers. It was written by Luke Bergman. He's speaking in Ann Arbor tonight at 7 p.m.

Dr. Bergmann is the husband of one of my professors. He came into some of my classes to talk about Getting Ghost. Brilliant man, can't wait to read it.
