"You can live your whole life out somewhere between Goose Island and Bronzeville without once feeling that, the week after you move, the neighbors are going to miss your place. For it isn't so much a city as it is a vasty way station where three and a half million bipeds swarm with the single cry, "One side or a leg off, I'm gettin' mine!" It's every man for himself in this hired air.
"Yet once you've come to be part of this particular patch, you'll never love another. Like loving a woman with a broken nose, you may well find lovelier lovelies. But never a lovely so real."
- Nelson Algren
Catch the one and only Bobby Love in the Lookingglass Theatre Company production of "Nelson Algren: For Keeps And A Single Day" at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art.
