An often violent one. But a resilient city too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That's our Memphis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like many cities, we have a namesake--in Egypt, Men-nefer became Menfe became Memphis, enduring and beautiful, on the banks of the Nile. Centuries later, another continent, another people, another river: Memphis, Tennessee, the soul of the Mississippi Delta, was formed. We are a place born of history, inhabited as much by memory as by the living--the past and present inextricably and inescapably linked . . . . Memphis is marvels and misfits--two-faced and unabashedly so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We are Memphis, and this is our noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617753114\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.3 Inches, Length: 5.4 Inches, Weight: 0.62170357884 Pounds, Width: 0.9 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laureen P.
