Hoosieritis

Is everyone in Indiana afflicted with an incurable disease? That's what author Alden Studebaker would have you believe in his book Hoosieritis: The Contagious Condition that is Indiana. A native son of Indiana Studebaker takes the reader on an anecdotal farcical journey through the Hoosier State pointing out the distinctive ways the enigmatic disease of Hoosieritis impacts the lives of Indiana residents. The book is often irreverent poking fun at Hoosier institutions traditions and peculiarities by presenting selected nonsensical facts about Indiana's culture history people and values. Its intent is to provoke robust conversations among Hoosiers about their home state and spawn fresh new observations of the concocted contagion. The book features twenty-four photos depicting Hoosieritis.
