Summary: Magnificent Volume About a Long Forgotten Magazine
Comment: The Chicagoan was a magazine that was inspired by the New Yorker and lasted 9 years 1926-1935. Its subsequent downfall from prominence to obscurity was so complete that there are only 2 known complete sets of the magazine. Additionally, all of the artists and writers who toiled for The Chicagoan wound up every bit as obscure as their magazine. Up until the publication of Neil Harris's 400 page book, the very existence of The Chicagoan was unknown even to historians of the Windy City.
Neil Harris has done a masterful job of both recounting the history of this splendid magazine as well as presenting examples of the art and writing that graced its pages. Hopefully, this will prove to be the start of a trend of exploring this magazine's history as well as the history of Jazz Age Chicago.

Summary: Jazz Age Gem
Comment: Great graphics--in its day the magazine must have challenged the New Yorker neck-and-neck. Sparkles with the wit and zest of jazz age Chicago--featuring figures of the wanning Chicago Renaissance and the hectic nightlife and cultural scene of the naughty lady by the Lake in the late 1920s and early 1930s. A rescued gem that breathes life into the City's history. Marie J. Kuda
