Description
New York, NY: Custom House (Release Date: February 27, 2018)
First Edition. Signed.
As new in dust jacket.
A big shouldered, big trouble thriller set in mobbed up 1920s Chicago—a city where some people knew too much, and where everyone should have known better—by the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of
The Untouchables
and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of
Glengarry Glen Ross
Mike Hodge—veteran of the Great War, big shot of the
Chicago Tribune
, medium fry—probably shouldn’t have fallen in love with Annie Walsh. Then, again, maybe the man who killed Annie Walsh have known better than to trifle with Mike Hodge.
In
Chicago
, David Mamet has created a bracing, kaleidoscopic page-turner that roars through the Windy City’s underground on its way to a thunderclap of a conclusion. Here is not only his first novel in more than two decades, but the book he has been building to for his whole career.
Mixing some of his most brilliant fictional creations with actual figures of the era (among them Al Capone), suffused with trademark “Mamet Speak,” richness of voice, pace and brio, and exploring—as no writer can—questions of honor, deceit, revenge, and devotion,
Chicago
is that rarest of literary creations: a book that combines spectacular elegance of craft with a kinetic wallop as fierce as the February wind gusting off Lake Michigan.
