The Coast of Chicago

The stolid landscape of Chicago suddenly turns dreamlike and otherworldly in Stuart Dybekâ€™s classic story collection. A childâ€™s collection of bottle caps becomes the tombstones of a graveyard. A lowly rightfielderâ€™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 Americaâ€™s most highly regarded writers.
