Smokestacks & Skyscrapers: An Anthology of Chicago Writing

Rating:
Summary: a most awesome collection
Review: it is about time that a new anthology of america's true city of letters was published. this collection covers the biggest names in chicago writing (or any literature period) to the moer obscure authors. it's all here, novel extracts, poems, memoirs, essays, articles, stories, drama... and there is so much more to chicago style writing than what is in this collection, as is pointed out in the afterward. but this is an excellent place to start. i highly recommend this collection to everyone, and i think that those who love chicago or live in chicago should be required to read it.
