Chicago was home to the Pulitzer Prize winning Studs Terkel, who moved there in 1922 and made it his home until his death in 2008 at the age of 96. A tribute to the 'Second City' that is part history, part memoir and 100% Studs Terkel, the book is infused with anecdotes, memories and reflections that celebrate the great city of Chicago. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs that perfectly capture Chicago's unique beauty; here is a splendid evocation of Studs' hometown in all of its glory and imperfection.

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.
