Tony Fitzpatrick spins magical tales from his own history and that of his beloved city Chicago via drawing-collages, vivid combinations of drawing, text and applied elements like matchbooks, postcards, gambling slips and ballgame stubs. In this gorgeous book created with Alex Kotlowitz, Fitzpatrick introduces the first set of drawing-collages as chapters in an ongoing project that is both personal diary and chronicle of Chicago. Clothbound. Co-published with La Luz de Jesus.

"Extraordinary... Fitzpatrick's Chicago is as soulful and magical as it is gritty and bruising, with a heart as big as its shoulders... an unusually dense, sorrowful, electrifying work of art." -Chicago Sun-Times
"Vivid in every detail, these works bring to mind all sorts of pieced-together mediums beyond collage... Compressing several forms of expression within their limited borders, they remind us that when the world created is complete enough, originality is beside the point." -The New York Times
