Stuart has enough stories to assemble a few books right now. There were several stories published in small journals back in the '70's. He was also working on a large novel back in the 80's. The novel took place in the Spanish speaking neighborhoods in Chicago. I am sure that there is a great deal of usable material from that project. Speaking of great short story writers, check out "male of the species" by Alex Mindt. You'll love these stories!

Dave!, I don't know about Dybek and what his life is like, but for me personally, I'd be able to use the money to finish up three books simultaneously by being able to quit my job, hire a housekeeper/personal shopper, and maybe hire a chef. You know, buy the services that take up my time. Oh, if only...

Definitely deserved... ...but how does winning the grant help finish three books simultaneously? There's only so many hours in the day, man.

"We're Still Waiting for Our Call ..." I'm sure when the cut and paste awards come out Chicagoist will be among the top finishers if not the winner. Then again, Seymour Hersh recently commented on the increased spread of his own work due, in part, to the cut and pasters of the world (wide web). Perhaps there is merit I'm too stubborn to see.

pantagrapher, I had the exact same thought when I heard someone else had won.

One of the best writers this city has produced. Chicago sucks in so many ways (politics, civic management, mass transit) but it still produces great writers, either natives or American transplants or immigrants, both experimental and mainstream.
