Tonight, we feature a moderated discussion with author Michelle E. Moore about her book (being released in paperback), Chicago and the Making of American Modernism is the first full-length study of the vexed relationship between America's great modernist writers and the nation's “second city.” Author Michelle E. Moore explores the ways in which the defining writers of the era - Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald - engaged with the city and reacted against the commercial styles of "Chicago realism" to pursue their own, European- influenced mode of modernist art.
