Streets of Memory
Esra Ozyllrek, author of Nostalgia for the Modern: State Specularism and Everyday Politics in Turkey --
The Death and Life of Main Street
For more than a century, the term "Main Street" has conjured up nostalgic images of American small-town life. Representations exist all around us, from fiction and film to the architecture of shopping malls and Disneyland. All the while, the nation has become increasingly diverse, exposing tensions within this ideal. In The Death and Life of Main Street, Miles Orvell wrestles with the mythic allure of the small town in all its forms, illustrating how Americans continue to reinscribe these images on real places in order to forge consensus about inclusion and civic identity, especially in times of crisis. Orvell underscores the fact that Main Street was never what it seemed; it has always been much more complex than it appears, as he shows in his discussions of figures like Sinclair Lewis, Willa Cather, Frank Capra, Thornton Wilder, Margaret Bourke-White, and Walker Evans. He argues that translating the overly tidy cultural metaphor into real spaces--as has been done in recent decades, especially in the new urbanist planned communities of Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Andres Duany--actually diminishes the communitarian ideals at the center of this nostalgic construct. Orvell investigates the way these tensions play out in a variety of cultural realms and explores the rise of literary and artistic traditions that deliberately challenge the tropes and assumptions of small-town ideology and life.

A memory you didn’t live. A secret you were never meant to know. A mind that’s no longer your own. Every Tuesday at exactly 3:17 p.m., Ava Moreau’s reality shatters. She’s a bartender now—forgotten by the scientific community that once praised her brilliance as a neuropsychologist. But when vivid, haunting memories that aren’t hers begin invading her mind, Ava’s quiet existence unravels. These aren’t dreams or hallucinations. They are stolen lives, moments of terror, sorrow, and secrets—playing on loop in her head. And they’re connected to something deeply sinister happening on Bellamy Street, where people are waking up with their identities erased. As she digs into the mystery, Ava discovers links to a top-secret project she tried to leave behind—one that blurred the line between ethical science and human experimentation. A trail of clues leads her back into a world of underground labs, memory manipulation, and a surveillance network far more advanced and dangerous than she could have imagined. But the deeper she goes, the less she can trust her own mind. What if the memories she's seeing aren't just evidence… but programming? Fast-paced, psychologically charged, and chillingly relevant, The Memory Thief of Bellamy Street is a taut mystery-thriller that explores the fragility of memory, the price of scientific ambition, and one woman’s fight to reclaim the truth—before her mind is no longer her own.
