The Wall Street journal profiles the book "Getting Ghost." "Getting Ghost" was written by two young drug dealers and thier view of the city. http://online.wsj.com/article/ SB123353507059837719.html?mod= todays_us_opinion#articleTabs% 3Darticle |

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. |
