Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The stolid landscape of Chicago suddenly turns dreamlike and otherworldly in Stuart Dybeks classic story collection. A childs collection of bottle caps becomes the tombstones of a graveyard. A lowly rightfielders 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 Americas most highly regarded writers. Review:"Has claim to comparison with Andersons Winesburg, Ohio and Joyce's Dubliners. . .Dybek's energetic prose produces dazzling effects." --Chicago Sun-Times "Moving and real and often brilliantly ambitious." --Los Angeles Times "A fictional world that is both ordinary and amazing." --The New York Times "Irresistible...Mr. Dreiser, Mr. Farrell, Mr. Bellow, Mr. Algren, please say hello to Stuart Dybek. Hes one of yours." The Village Voice "Establishes [Dybek] not merely as a talent but as a magician comparable to Eudora Welty and Joy Williams." --Chicago Tribune "Tender and unforgiving...No matter where you grew up, after reading these stories youll have found the coast of Chicago" --San Francisco Chronicle What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
