In Chicago Sketches, we visit places as diverse as Maxwell Street, Riverview, Wrigley Field, the old Clark Theater, and the National Bohemian Cemetery. We meet the famousNelson Algren and Yevgeny Yevtushenkoand the other people who have touched Reeders lifeBubbie Gussie, Rabbi Mendel, and the Big Klu. We also witness moments in Reeders life that echo through historyNovember 4, 1960 and November 22, 1963. Leonid Osseneys vivid illustrations make all these Chicago sketches come even more alive.From the Foreword by Charles R. Middleton, President, Roosevelt University, Chicago IL: Many of us carry vignettes of our lives around in our minds eye and even occasionally pause to expand upon a moment and craft it into a silently remembered story. But most of us, and I confess to being with you in this, dont really have a startling variety of experiences and memories of people.Richard Reeder, in Chicago Sketches, thankfully does.A good story may start with the people, as these in Chicago Sketches always do, but its their context that adds flavor to the stew. Its important that someone settled in Tulsa or Old Town. It shaped him in that moment of time when you encountered him, and it says something about you that you found him there and not elsewhere.A good story, much less a collection of them like this one, has as another essential ingredient. While people and places give a story life, that life is brought into motion by the storyteller. Mr. Reeders sensitivity to humanity touches a chord in us and provides sufficient reason to spend some time, however brief, with these people in these places long ago but not so far away.Finally, I have a confession to make. I begin reading a book today just as I did when I was in first grade. I start by looking at all the pictures (if there are any). Pictures are windows into the written text as well as visions beyond it. Leonid Ossenys illustrations in this book are a wonderful example of this. Once these illustrations have captured you, as they did me, the written words seem to take on additional meanings. Enjoy!
