Lincoln Avenue: Chicago Stories - Paperback

by Gregg Shapiro (Author)

With its twelve sharply observed stories filled with memorable characters and dialogue imbued with the pop music of the day, Gregg Shapiro reflects on what it meant to grow up gay in Chicago during the 1970s and 1980s. Relationships-family, boyfriends, and otherwise-are explored in stories such as "Lunch with a Porn Star," "Marilyn, My Mother, Myself," and "Your Father's Car." Only a gay Chicago native with a keen eye could give us such an insider's view of the Windy City from a more innocent time not too long ago.
