  1. In politics, Chicago way is American way

    The Swamp
    by Frank James Chicago is once again drawing fire from Republicans who have seemingly convinced themselves that they have to run not only against Sen. Barack Obama but against an entire city. Sen. John McCain, for instance, has recently gone......

  2. 'Minsk, 2011' finds sexual heat in totalitarian chill

    THEATER REVIEW: "Minsk 2011: A Reply to Kathy Acker" by the Belarus Free Theatre at Chicago Shakespeare ★★★★
    In these free, privileged United States, the phrase "Sex in the City" conjures up a premium-cable experience of hot nights, cool fashion, heavy appetizers and relationship angst so light it might fly away on the West Village breeze. But whither real sex...

  3. When writing about a lovely like Chicago, it's important to keep it real

    THEATER REVIEW: "We Live Here" ★★½ by Theatre Seven ... "We Live Here" is an original, multiauthor homage to the quintessence of the city of Chicago.
    This time, Steve Bartman comes to the rescue. For the first half-hour of Theatre Seven's "We Live Here," an original, ensemble-driven, multiauthor homage to the quintessence of the city of Chicago, the show flails around. The early pieces feel...

  4. Last stand for the printed page

    Bob Katzman of Bob Katzman's Magazine Museum in Skokie first called last summer.
    Bob Katzman of Bob Katzman's Magazine Museum in Skokie first called last summer. He really wanted a story, he explained, because, well, he had such a great story to tell: He had 140,000 magazines and newspapers, flags from around the world, buttons that...

  5. All the kitchen's a stage: Why Chicago breeds great restaurants and theater companies

    Over the past 25 years or so, two surging art forms have elevated cultural Chicago on the global stage: theater and fine dining. Is this coincidence or correlation?
    Over the past 25 years or so, two surging art forms have elevated cultural Chicago on the global stage: theater and fine dining. Is this coincidence or correlation? I mean no disrespect to dancers, musicians or rockers, nor architects, painters, poets...

  6. Culture clash: New history of Chicago taps into our malaise

    "The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream" has an elegant, unflinching, non-nostalgic clarity about Chicago that you rarely see in books about Chicago.
    Thomas Dyja looked at me with abject horror, then humor, then, as his face crumbled in defeat, resignation. A face that said, "See? This is why I wrote a 412-page cultural history of Chicago at midcentury that — as much as it pulls together...

    Roger Ebert was a hot trend on Google's top 10 trends earlier this week. As of Wednesday, more than 50,000 people had searched for his name, an impressive display of his influence. He wasn't quite as hot as North Korea or Jay Leno, but he was...

  8. At the MCA, Stew serves up tangy observations about Chicago

    "Hey broken-nose girl," the redoubtable Stew sang from the stage of Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art on Saturday night, addressing Chicago, the commissioned topic of much of his pair of weekend performances. "I hear you're second to none. I don't know you, but I know you got a past."

  10. Nicholas Tremulis book 'For the Baby Doll' celebrates life and love

    It may not rank with literature's greatest opening lines — “Call me Ishmael”; “It was a pleasure to burn”; or “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice”* — but the first sentences of Nicholas Tremulis' new 10-page memoir are undeniably arresting: “When I was 4 years old, I wanted to be music. Not play it. Be it.”

  11. Our town was Wilder's town too

    New biography sheds light on Thornton Wilder, the influence of his childhood and his love of Chicago
    Chicago makes a claim on many writers — Nelson Algren, David Mamet, Ernest Hemingway, Carl Sandburg — even if those scribes spent only a portion of their lives within its sweet confines. But Thornton Wilder, the author of such iconic plays...

  12. On the 'L,' e-books change spy game

    Strange as it sounds, reading a book while sitting on public transportation may be what I like best about living in a big city. I would even go as far as to say reading on a train or bus is what urban dwelling is about, a near perfect illustration of how living in a city often means being simultaneously public and anonymous, surrounded by strangers at exactly the moment you just want to be left alone.
