Book (b)

A collection of Sydney Harris's syndicated newspaper column "Strictly Personal," from the Chicago Daily News & Chicago Sun-Times, chosen from 30 years of writing. Columns are short and range from advice to politics. The back cover quotes Studs Terkel in the Chicago Sun-Times, saying, "Fortunately for our sense of balance, Sydney J. Harris is around, reminding us of human possibilities not yet tapped . . . Pick up this book. It's good for out-loud reading, and therapeutic at the same time." Harris went to high school with Saul Bellow, possibly at Tuley High School, where Saul Bellow is documented as having graduated from; the building is now Tuley Middle School, and the high school was moved to Clemente.

A study of urban revitalization focusing on Chicago's Cabrini Green housing project.

"Playful and empathetic tales of misguided lonely hearts."

This novel centers around the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh and the Squirrel Hill Cafe, affectionately referred to as "The Squirrel Cage." The young protagonist, Jacob, struggles here with the youthful ambivalence characteristic of his generation. This place serves as a catalyst for Jacob's muddled journeys throughout the country and world and his immense reckoning with sense of place.
