  2. Review: 'The Third Coast' by Thomas Dyja

    The title of the first chapter of Thomas Dyja's "The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream," evokes a smile: "The Brick Is Another Teacher." Dyja's book is roughly brick-size and brick-heft, and I wondered what it might have to teach. • His subtitle suggests that Dyja aims to join the long and semi-honorable tradition of Chicago boosterism, books that claim Chicago is "world-class" in something, or that Chicago's influence on this, that or the other aspect of American culture has been underestimated. Such urban braggadocio was one foundation of Chicago, which grew from prairie trading post to world city so quickly in no small part due to the extreme claims of developers and politicians. But back to bricks.

  3. Culture clash: New history of Chicago taps into our malaise

    "The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream" has an elegant, unflinching, non-nostalgic clarity about Chicago that you rarely see in books about Chicago.
    Thomas Dyja looked at me with abject horror, then humor, then, as his face crumbled in defeat, resignation. A face that said, "See? This is why I wrote a 412-page cultural history of Chicago at midcentury that — as much as it pulls together...

  11. Kosher Soul: A film about the biggest name in klezmer

    You might expect a documentary on the Klezmatics, the only klezmer band to win a Grammy Award, to be a joyous affair, celebrating the traditional Yiddish music that this exceedingly creative band reinvents for today's audiences. And indeed <em>The Klezmatics &mdash; On Holy Ground</em> meets that expectation, whenever the band is shown in performance. The music is infectious and the passionate love the band members have for their music is alive in their every expression. If you know klezmer music, the film will reaffirm your admiration; if you don't, the Klezmatics, who formed in 1986 in the East Village, will provide a very contemporary introduction to something that feels ancient and yet amazingly vital.
