Printers Row Lit Fest Chicago was this weekend. The woman in red dress and backpack was checking out some of the rappers Saturday. Sunday, G Babe and I caught three lectures.
Kevin Boyle talked with Elizabeth Taylor about his book “The Shattering: America in the Sixties”.
Next up we heard Sherman ‘Dilla’ Thomas and Chicago Sun-Times journalist Neil Steinberg, ‘Every Goddamn Day’ talk about Chicago’s sordid, colorful, corrupt, influential, and important history.
The third lecture, ‘The Insidiousness of Hatred” featured writers Adam Langer and Jerry Stahl.
