Illustrated maps and portraits from the city

Stories from prize-winning writers

A field guide to Memphis: soul food and art museums, filmmakers and journalists, music history and neighborhood lore.

Inside Wildsam Memphis you find city stories from prize-winning writers, past and present; illustrated maps to rock and soul, Civil Rights history and barbecue; interviews with musicians, radio station managers and restaurant owners; delightful miscellany from the archives, selective recommendations about authentic Memphis experiences and trusted travel essentials.

"Author Robert Gordon once wrote that Memphis is a place where "the ideas are strong because, like weeds growing in a concrete sidewalk, they must force themselves through," Never more apparent than today, Memphians continue that honest hustle to turn pearls out of their city's grit."
