Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. This is the 1992 Reprint of "1001 Afternoons in Chicago:" by Ben Hecht, with wonderful pen and ink illustrations by Herman Rosse, published by the University of Chicago Press. The following is from the book's blurb : "In 1921 Ben Hecht wrote a column for the 'Chicago Daily News', which his edito…r called 'journalism extraordinary; journalism that invaded the realm of literature!' Hecht's collection of sixty-four of those pieces, illustrated with striking pen drawings by Herman Ross, is a timeless caricature or urban American life" Brothertown talking here : . and specifically Chicago urban life, which included all that one might expect from the jazz age : nightclubs, jazz and blues music, conspicuously eccentric persons, crowded life, back alleys, automotive dreams and craziness, big city entertainment personalities --- and looming over it all the towering skyscrapers that were championed as heralding the new American life. And, again from the blurb , said "the New York Times" : "Mr. Hecht is attempting to do for Chicago what Dickens did for London; he stands appalled before the spectacle of the streets, with their tumultuous, mysterious throngs." Further, L. S. Klepp, of "Voice Literary Supplement", is also quoted on the rear cover: " The hard-boiled audacity and wit that became Hecht's signature as Hollywood's most celebrated screen-writer are conspicuous in these vignettes. Most of them are comic and sardonic, some strike muted tragic or somber atmospheric notes . The best are timeless character sketches that have taken on an added interest as shards of social history."
