Joseph A. Conforti has been helping us understand Maine for quite some time. He arrived in 1987 to establish an American and New England Studies Program at USM that trained educators and historians. Imagining New England: Explorations of Regional Identity, did what the subtitle says. Conforti edited the best book on our metropolis, Creating Portland, but still can’t fully explain why there’s no great Portland novel.
His new book, Hidden Places: Maine Writers on Coastal Villages, Mill Towns, and the North Country, discusses great novels from the rest of Maine, beginning with Sarah Orne Jewett’s Deephaven (1877) and nearing the present with Elizabeth Strout’s The Burgess Boys (2013) and Monica Wood’s memoir, When We Were the Kennedys (2012).
