By Alex Kotlowitz (Crown Publishing)
The
Notre Dame visiting professor of American studies here offers
a tour not of the city itself but of its people -- from steelworkers
to artists to the "professional busybodies" Millie and
Brenda. The book is part of a literary travel series in which
authors make the journey on foot and write about their excursions.
Kotlowitz is the author of There Are No Children Here,
a look at the Chicago projects that was named by the New York
Public Library as one of the 150 most important books of the 20th
century.
