Chicago Underground Library Reader Interviews: Printer’s Row 2010 #5

Chicago Underground Library loves writers and publishers, but they (and we) wouldn’t exist without readers. Over the next few months, we’ll be posting interviews with Chicagoans about their favorite gone-but-not-forgotten publications, under-recognized writers, and what it takes to make a book quintessentially Chicago. (Hint: It’s not spilling deep dish pizza on it.)

Our reader interviews turn into writer interviews at Printer’s Row with authors Darryl Harvey and D. A. Rhodes. The Chicago Black Author’s Network is an organization that Darryl Harvey founded.

CUL editors, volunteers, and guest bloggers from around Chicago are working around the clock to bring you a preview of what you’ll find and who you’ll meet at the Ball.
