He blends a bit of impressionistic journalism and intellectual freewheeling to blast Chicago on nearly every count--the courts, the jails, the neighborhoods--everything. Piling on top of it all Hegel. Vico and Rilke don't make it any more palatable. If the trial did not convince them, the articles did: Albert Corde is a poetic jackass...
