Chinese in Chicago, Illinois: 1870-1945
When I was a young reporter, I interned briefly with Don Boxmeyer in St. Paul, MN. Don was the original beat reporter become news columnist. He had his daily haunts for morning coffee - where he wouldn't hold court so much as listen to every word spoken - and he was respected in a way that is no longer a reality in journalism.
The title gives you a sense of Don's sense of humor (in a state with so many Knutsons, it's a pretty darn good joke) as well as his ear for nuance and humanity. He loved his hometown and every sentence he cobbled together was a reflection of that love and humanity.
I highly recommend this book of his columns/essays to anyone who enjoys lyric essays, and for anyone who feels nostalgic for the days when a pot of coffee and a newsprint paper was the start to the smart person's day.
