Welcome to the website for One Book One Northwestern 2012-2013. This year’s book, Never a City so Real, by Alex Kotlowitz provides an introduction to the city, but less as a tour of the place and more a chronicle of its soul. Through a collection of vignettes about Chicago's diverse people and neighborhoods, the book gives readers a much richer understanding of the city. Never a City so Real provides insight into Chicago's rich history and culture, while also touching on a wide variety of challenging issues such as neighborhood integration, politics, urban poverty, immigration, and public housing. Most of all, it brings to life the diverse people and neighborhoods that make this city so great.

Read. Reflect. Engage.
