The Coast of Chicago
New York: Knopf
(1990).
First Edition. Signed. $60.00 |
| 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. | |
