Chicago Noir by Neal Pollack
On the heels of the stunning success of the award-winning Brooklyn Noir, here comes the second volume of this groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies. The city of Chicago has spent much time and money over the last decade marketing itself as a tourist-friendly destination for the whole family. The stories in this anthology reclaim a Chicago where people struggle to survive and where, for many, crime is the only means for their survival - a Chicago once depicted by James Farrell and Nelson Algren.From 1993 through 2000, Neal Pollack worked as a reporter for the Chicago Reader, where he published the Petty Crime column, among other things. He's the author of three satirical novels, including The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, a cult classic, and the rock-n-roll novel Never Mind the Pollacks. He writes for Vanity Fair and Nerve on a regular basis. His family and he live in Austin, Texas.
