I Sailed with Magellan
by Stuart DybekFollowing his renowned The Coast of Chicago and Childhood, story writer Stuart Dybek returns with eleven masterful and masterfully linked stories about Chicago's fabled and harrowing South Side.
United, they comprise the story of Perry Katzek and.
Dybek is a brilliant writer and one of the most humorous writers I've ever read. His prose is often quite poetic and his descriptions of Chicago and its characters are funny, poignant and sometimes sad.
Enjoyable, but not as compelling as I had hoped.
Beautifully written. Only a few stories really grabbed me.
