Description
Chicago, a novel by Brian Doyle, is set on the last day of summer and follows a young college graduate as he moves to Chicago and rents a small apartment. Over the next five seasons, he encounters a diverse range of characters, including gangsters, gamblers, and a brave bus driver.
This is a love letter to the city of Chicago, capturing its spirit and atmosphere in a wry account of a young man's coming-of-age. The story takes place during an unusual summer when the White Sox had the best outfield in baseball, adding to the sense of time and place.
Chicago is a novel that will plunge you into the city's vibrant culture and may well leave you wanting to visit for yourself.
