  • Pete Segall. the Voice of Chicago in the 20Th Century: a Selective Bibliographic Essay
    Pete Segall. The Voice of Chicago in the 20th Century: A Selective Bibliographic Essay. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. December, 2006. 66 pages. Advisor: Dr. David Carr Examining the literature of Chicago in the 20th Century both historically and critically, this bibliography attempts to find commonalities of voice in a list of selected works. The paper first looks at Chicago in a broader context, focusing particularly on perceptions of the city: both Chicago’s image of itself and the world’s of it. A series of criteria for inclusion in the bibliography are laid out, and with that a mention of several of the works that were considered but ultimately disqualified or excluded. Before looking into the Voice of the city, Chicago’s history is succinctly summarized in a bibliography of general histories as well as of seminal and crucial events. The bibliography searching for Chicago’s voice presents ten books chronologically, from 1894 to 2002, a close examination of those works does reveal themes and ideas integral to Chicago’s identity. Headings: Chicago (Ill.) – Bibliography Chicago (Ill.) – Bibliography – Critical Chicago (Ill.) – History Chicago (Ill.) – Fiction THE VOICE OF CHICAGO IN THE 20TH CENTURY: A SELECTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHIC ESSAY by Pete Segall A Master’s paper submitted to the faculty of the School of Information and Library Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Library Science.

Yes, many of the entries contradict each other, and others are most likely patent lies, but all of these are in the public literature and you can sort them out for yourselves… Due to some positive notes from readers, I have decided to start updating this list after about a year of ignoring it.
