Publisher Description In the tradition of E. B. Whites bestselling Here Is New York, Chicago is a tribute to the "Second City"-part history, part memoir, and 100% Studs Terkel-infused with anecdotes, memories, and reflections that celebrate the great city.Chicago was home to the countrys first skyscraper (a ten-story building built in 1884) and marks the start of the famed "Route 66." It is also the birthplace of the remote control (Zenith), the car radio (Motorola) and the first major American city to elect a woman (Jane Byrne) and then an African American man (Harold Washington) as mayor. Its literary and journalistic history is just as dazzling, and includes Nelson Algren, Mike Royko and Sara Paretsky. From Al Capone to the street riots during the Democratic National Convention in 1968, Chicago, in the words of Terkel himself, "has-as they used to whisper of the towns fast woman-a reputation."Chicago was of course also home to the Pulitzer Prizewinning oral historian Studs Terkel, who moved to Chicago in 1922 as an eight-year-old and who would make it his home until his death in 2008 at the age of 96. This book is a splendid evocation of Studs hometown in all its glory-and all its imperfection. Author Biography Studs Terkel (1912-2008) was the bestselling author of twelve books of oral history, including Working; Hard Times; the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Good War"; and, most recently, his memoir Touch and Go (all available from The New Press). He was the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including a Presidential National Humanities Medal and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
