The city in question is Chicago, a city I love. So, an opportunity to read a fictionalized history sounds intriguing. Given the length, I am picturing something in the style of James Michener or Edward Rutherford. That, to me, is not what Make Me a City by Jonathan Carr delivers. Because of its multitude of characters, its episodic structure, and at times its language, the book proves too great a challenge to follow.
