Chicago Stories -- Hometown and host to talents as diverse as Richard Wright, David Mamet, Maya Angelou, Saul Bellow, and Mike Royko, Chicago boasts a rich tradition of writers who have helped shape our sense of the city even as the city informs their best work. It's "a writer's town . . . a fighter's town," according to Nelson Algren, and this anthology proves it. With a striking new cover, Chicago Stories collects the most evocative writing on the city, its gritty realism, and indomitable spirit.

John Miller lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has co-edited numerous anthologies for Chronicle Books.

Stuart Dybek is a Chicago native and author of The Coast of Chicago and Childhood and Other Neighborhoods.
