"Contributors from all corners of the city share space, each individual neighborhood weaving together into an evocative tapestry." --Curbed Chicago
The Chicago Neighborhood Guidebook offers an intimate, idiosyncratic look at the third-largest city in the country, exploring community history and identity in a global city through essays, poems, photo essays, and art articulating the lived experience of its residents. What did one pizzeria mean to a boy growing up in Ashburn? How can South Shore encompass so much beauty and so much pain? Where's the best borscht in Ukrainian Village? Who's got a handle on the ever-shifting identity of Rogers Park? All this and more is explored in this lyrical, subjective, completely non-comprehensive guide to Chicago. With contributions from more than forty writers, including Megan Stielstra, Audrey Petty, Dmitry Samarov, Lily Be, and many others, covering forty-three of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods, it is a snapshot of a city at an inflection point, representing grassroots history at its finest--and a must for anyone keen to understand what makes Chicago tick. "Required reading." --Chicago Tribune "Stirring, entertaining and informative . . . [Brings] to vivid life the diverse people and wildly divergent experiences that populate Chicago." --Chicago DetoursAuthor Biography
