Gentrifier

Set in Detroit's Banglatown, this memoir chronicles Anne Elizabeth Moore's transformative experience after receiving a free house from an arts organization. Accompanied by her cats, she navigates gardening, community connections, and the realities of civic collapse. As the troubled history of her home unfolds, she confronts the impacts of the housing crisis and corruption. Blending humor with poignant insights, Moore explores themes of gender, queerness, and survival, questioning the intertwined nature of capitalism, property, and identity in a gentrifying landscape.
