| Publisher Description: In this groundbreaking anthology, award-winning author Kenan Heise profiles the remarkable contributions of the many and varied creative, born out of twentieth-century Chicago's chaos -- such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Upton Sinclair, Edna Ferber, Louis Armstrong, Studs Terkel, Lorraine Hansberry, Carl Sandburg, Li-Young Lee, Gwendolyn Brooks, L. Frank Baum, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. The energy and excitement of post-Civil War Chicago are captured in Chaos, Creativity and Culture: An Anthology of Chicago in the Twentieth Century. |
