"If you’re not from the Midwest, you may not know much about Iowa City, aside from a reasonably sure bet that it’s a city located somewhere in the state of Iowa. What’s most significant about Iowa City, arguably, is that it’s the home of the University of Iowa — and if you’re a literary type, what’s most significant about the university is the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, the most famous creative-writing program in the country. All of which is to say: don’t be surprised when you check in to the Graduate Iowa City and find yourself surrounded by yard after yard of packed bookshelves." - Tablet Hotels
