Description

For years, Chicagoan Vicki Quade has been telling stories as a journalist, playwright, theater producer, and performer. So it's not surprising she has a way of connecting with quirky characters during mundane, everyday occurrences. Close Encounters of a Chicago Kind is a compilation of those stories, examining the lives that brush past her on city streets, in banks, at the grocery store or in restaurants. With a sharp wit and empathetic skill, Quade colorfully recreates brief scenarios that range from the comic to the bizarre to the dangerous - and all are unique to the spirit of the Windy City.
