Synopsis

"Chicago Stories" explores how a humble outpost became a globally influential metropolis, focusing on its architectural innovation, pivotal historical moments, and cultural impact. The book argues that Chicago's identity is defined by innovation, resilience, and the relentless ambition of its people, highlighting its constant reinvention shaped by adversity and visionaries.

 
Chicago's pioneering role in skyscraper design and modern urban planning transformed urban environments worldwide, as the city became a laboratory for architectural experimentation after the Great Chicago Fire.

 
The book examines Chicago's rich history and vibrant cultural heritage, from the rise of organized crime during Prohibition to its profound contributions to jazz and blues music. Drawing on historical documents, architectural plans, and firsthand accounts, it offers a comprehensive view of Chicago's social and economic realities.

 
Progressing chronologically and thematically, the book explores the impact of the Great Chicago Fire, the "Chicago School" of architecture, and the city's cultural influence, concluding with an assessment of Chicago's current standing as a global metropolis.

    Banksy: Completed

    There's more to Banksy than the painting on the wall: the first in-depth investigation into the mysteries of the world's most famous living artist. 
    Banksy is the world's most famous living artist, yet no one knows who he is. For more than twenty years, his wryly political and darkly humorous spray paintings have appeared mysteriously on urban walls around the globe, generating headlines and controversy. Art critics disdain him, but the public (and the art market) love him. With this generously illustrated book, artist and critic Carol Diehl is the first author to probe the depths of the Banksy mystery. Through her exploration of his paintings, installations, writings, and Academy Award-nominated film, Exit through the Gift Shop, Diehl proves unequivocally that there's more to Banksy than the painting on the wall. 
    Seeing Banksy as the ultimate provocateur, Diehl investigates the dramas that unfold after his works are discovered, with all of their social, economic, and political implications. She reveals how this trickster rattles the system, whether during his month-long 2013 self-styled New York "residency" or his notorious Dismaland of 2015, a full-scale dystopian "family theme park unsuitable for children" dedicated to the failure of capitalism. Banksy's work, Diehl shows, is a synthesis of conceptual art, social commentary, and political protest, played out not in museums but where it can have the most effect--on the street, in the real world. The questions Banksy raises about the uses of public and private property, the role of the global corporatocracy, the never-ending wars, and the gap between artworks as luxury goods and as vehicles of social expression, have never been more relevant. 
    Published in hardback by The MIT Press, this audiobook version is read by the author.

    A celebration of the quirks, intricacies, and hallmarks of a beloved but culturally undervalued art form: the American soap opera. 
     
    Adored by battalions of devotees and maligned by others for melodramatic twists and turns, soap operas have had an outsized impact on American culture, prefiguring the rise of today's reality television and character-driven prestige dramas. In Love in the Afternoon . . . and Evening, cultural critics Charlotte Druckman and Mayukh Sen salute the stories and talent that have sustained the industry since its radio days. Featured are smart yet dishy interviews with soap icons like Susan Lucci (All My Children's Erica Kane) and Erika Slezak (One Life to Live's Victoria Lord); deep dives into the genre's infamous tropes and archetypes (long-lost daughters and evil twins); and considered takes on the industry's treatment of race, reproductive rights, and queerness. Part cultural analysis, part backstage tour, and all love letter to an oft-misunderstood art form, Love in the Afternoon . . . and Evening will make you want to bust out your shoulder pads and binge your favorite show all over again.
