The stolid landscape of Chicago suddenly turns dreamlike and
otherworldly in Stuart Dybek's classic story collection. A child's
collection of bottle caps becomes the tombstones of a graveyard. A
lowly rightfielder's inexplicable death turns him into a martyr to
baseball. Strains of Chopin floating down the tenement airshaft are
transformed into a mysterious anthem of loss. Combining homely
detail and heartbreakingly familiar voices with grand leaps of
imagination, "The Coast of Chicago" is a masterpiece from one of
America's most highly regarded writers.
