In Chicago Sketches, we visit places as diverse as Maxwell Street, Riverview, Wrigley Field, the old Clark Theater and the National Bohemian Cemetery. We meet the famous—Nelson Algren and Yevgeny Yevtushenko—and the other people who have touched my life—Bubbie Gussie, Rabbi Mendel, and the Big Klu. We also witness moments in my life that echo through history—November 4, 1960 and November 22, 1963. Leonid Osseny’s vivid illustrations make all these Chicago sketches come even more alive. Chicago Sketches is available for purchase on AmikaPress.com and Amazon.com.
