For more than 30 years, Mike Royko was a part of the daily fabric of Chicagoans’ lives, penning often humorous and always honest columns first for the Chicago Daily News, then the Sun-Times, and finally the Tribune. Culled from thousands of his Tribune columns and edited by his son David Royko, this collection offers up his best material from the last stage in his career, which was cut short by his premature death in 1997.
Born and raised in Chicago, Mike Royko (1932–1997) produced more than 7,500 daily columns for the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Chicago Daily News. He also wrote numerous books, including the acclaimed Boss, a critical biography of Richard J. Daley and the Chicago Democratic machine. He won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1972.
