Name a place in the US and I will pick for you a book exemplifying that local culture

...

berkeley, california

The Bronx

Champion Ohio

Dharma Bums, or really anything by Kerouac
kind of specific but great NYC books that are tangential to the bronx are Bonfire of the Vanities and Underworld. For more of the urban african american theme go with Invisible Man or anything by August Wilson.

I dunno where that is but google didn't help. If you want quaint midwest, Winesburg, OH. For gritty rust belt, Man with the Golden Arm. If thats the hillbilly part of Ohio then Child of God.

San Antonio, Texas

Kitsap county, Washington

You really suck at this.

East Atlanta zone 6

Las Vegas, Nevada
