To Die in Chicago

NADJA TESICH-TO DIE IN CHICAGOWith a gritty and elegiac precision, Nadja Tesich brings vividly to life the immigrant experience in East Chicago. With quick silver wit the story of a young girl crossing the threshold to womanhood unfolds as she learns the bitter trade-off between what is irretrievably lost and what is gained, as she and her family confront the grim reality of living the American dream.-Charles Ruas, Author of, Conversations with American Writers.Praise for To Die In ChicagoAs see
