by Marilyn Levy
Marilyn Levy’s extraordinary novel Chicago: August 28, 1968 relates what a dozen ordinary Americans experience on a single day during the Democratic National Convention and the riots outside in Grant Park. Viewed through the eyes of Levy’s varied characters—among them a teenager, a cop, an artist, a psychiatrist just back from Vietnam, a black activist, and a dying woman.
