An American Summer: Love and Death in Chicago

An absolute must-read. Kotlowitz's style of reporting is seamlessly narrative while maintaining integrity and allowing the subjects to keep their autonomy. I'll soon be engaging with the communities represented in this literature and I've never been more energized to take on such work with empathy. Regardless of one's line of work, geographic positioning, demographics, or interests, An American Summer is a captivating and necessary American anthology.
