When Jen asked me if I wanted to help out with her Chicago Author Month, I jumped at the chance. Having spent the large majority of my formative years in the Chicago suburbs, I relished the chance to support authors from the area, as well as share my love for all things Chicago. Yet, when Jen showed me the list of authors she was hoping to highlight, I was shocked by one name that appeared on the list - Richard Wright. I had read his autobiography, “Black Boy,” in high school and do not remember anything about Chicago in there. Was this really true? Yes, Richard Wright is definitely a Chicago author.

Weekends are going to be all about spotlights here during Chicago Author Month! Saturday was my inaugural publisher spotlight. Sundays will be something a little different. Sundays will spotlight either a book I’m dying to read but couldn’t fit a review of in, or a very special author. Today I’m going with the ‘very special author’ format.
