Description

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.

Author description

Neal Pollack is the author of three other books: the cult classic The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, Beneath the Axis of Evil and the rock 'n' roll novel Never Mind the Pollacks. He is also a regular contributor to Vanity Fair, GQ and many other magazines.
