Mostly vignettes that make playgrounds out of wordplay, that obsess over the little details that make up a character, that make up Chicago.

Not much goes on in the stories, but so much is to be seen and heard, so much to pull out of a city.

My favorite is Power Failure. About a mother and dreams of her children, dreams that warp and shape who they are and her current reality.

For those who don’t mind getting a bit lost in scenes, in meandering thoughts and observations. For those who enjoy the likes of Renata Adler, Lucia Berlin, and Claire-Louise Bennet.
