Author night featuring Richard Reeder September 24th

Nearly a century has passed since Ben Hecht wrote the last of his 1001 Afternoons in Chicago columns for the Chicago Daily News in the early 1920s. Now in 2018, Richard Reeder pays literary homage to Hecht in his new book 1001 Train Rides in Chicago, sixty-four short fiction vignettes of ordinary people who ride the eight rail lines of the CTA.
