"Singing the City" is an eloquent tribute to a way of life, largely disappearing in America, using Pittsburgh as a lens. Graham is not blind to the damage industry has done, both to people and to the environment, but she shows her readers, that there is also a rich human story, that has gone largely untold, one, that reveals, in all its ambiguities, the place of the industrial landscape in the heart.
