Short stories from west side neighborhoods of Chicago. "The force of each writer's vision and language carries you into the living rooms and kitchens where the real folk of the West Side go about the business of living. 'West Side Stories' presents the everyday, the brutal, the glorious."

A collection of "pieces" by former Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bill Granger, who grew up on the south side of Chicago and experienced its colorful neighborhoods.

David's new book brings together city poems from many sources, including folders on David's desk. John provides a generous introduction, and the illustrations combine the murals and paintings of Gamaliel Ramirez with photos of other art works and urban icons by Wayne Allen Jones, designer and typesetter of the book. This set brings together the poems that were the basis for the 1991 radio show in which John and David exchanged poems fueling the debate and ironic views of the dialectic between Chicago and its suburbs.

90 poems on the author's neighborhood, friends, and observations of Chicago in general., as well as thoughts on cultural and labor politics.<br />
