Early Royko: Up Against It in Chicago

by Mike Royko

Book Overview

Combining the incisive pen of a newspaperman and the compassionate soul of a poet, Mike Royko became a Chicago institution--in Jimmy Breslin's words, "the best journalist of his time." Early Royko: Up Against It in Chicago will restore to print the legendary columnist's earliest writings, which chronicle 1960s Chicago with the moral vision, ironic sense, and razor-sharp voice that would remain Royko's trademark.
