About the Book

Somewhere between the Brown Line and breakdown. Ever shared a drafty apartment with a hoarding stutterer, ducked eviction calls from your slumlord, and watched your girlfriend dissolve into a blur of bar hookups? Welcome to Chicago, Daniel Spero's laugh-so-you-don't-cry tale of Julian Jakos-a broke, weed-smoking writer drifting between Craigslist apartments, doomed relationships, and sub-zero winters. This semi-autobiographical novel is a darkly comic descent into heartbreak, burnout, and the messy business of self-reinvention in early-2000s America. After a wrecked relationship in Boston, Julian heads to Chicago hoping for a fresh start. What he finds is eviction threats, existential dread, and the kind of soul-searching that only happens when you're high, alone, and 26. Chicago is a raw, lyrical ode to the dreamers who don't make it-and the bills that still do.

About the Author :
Born in Kalamazoo Michigan on September 14th 1977, Daniel Spero is a novelist, scriptwriter, journalist, drummer, entertainer and noted scatologist. He has penned seven novels including Battle Creek, Fall 98, Chicago, The Greek Tragedy, Hun King the Ice-Head and White Horse and A Life in Concert, all semi-autobiographical retrospectives that wring out the adventures and absurdity we collectively experience in contemporary life. Daniel has ten film scripts and two TV show pilots to his credit, including writing the first season of the gritty dramatic series, Expat. Furthermore, Daniel has an extensive portfolio of freelance journalistic pieces, writing for newspapers, magazines and websites; and he was the drummer for the groove jazz organ trio, Altiro, Chicagoland's premiere soul-jazz trio of 2004 and 2005. Daniel currently lives in Saigon where he writes journalistically and creatively, raises his daughter Maya, and dabbles in stand-up.
