In Stuart Dybek's Chicago, wonder lurks in unexpected places--in
garbage-strewn alleys, gloomy basement apartments, abandoned rooms
at the top of rickety stairs periodically rumbled by passing el
trains. Transformed through the wide eyes of Dybek's adolescent
heroes, these grimy urban backwaters become exotic landscapes of
fear-filled possibility, of dreams not yet turned to nightmares.
Chronicling what happens when Old World faith meets the dark side
of the American dream, Dybek's poignant stories of coming of age in
Chicago alternately appall, amaze, and just simply entertain.
