A group of diverse authors will take us on a tour of Chicago, from the 1893 Columbian Exposition to the 20th century. This class is perfect for those planning to take the OLLI trip to Chicago in September as well as anyone who enjoys a great read and lively discussion. We will read The Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen (May 3), Native Son by Richard Wright (May 17), The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros (May 31) and An Unfinished Season by Ward Just  (June 14).

Moderators: Susan Robinson has attended and moderated the Friday Book Class for many years. Cate O’Hara is OLLI Director, occasional moderator, and Illinois native with bachelor and master degrees in English.
