Movie Talk

One part of Stuart Dybek's Coast of Chicago, Mayor Daley's latest "One Book, One Chicago" selection, is heading to the big screen. Director Dan Halperin of Epiphany Pictures is planning a feature film based on the book's "Blight" story — considered by many to be the best short story ever written about Chicago. One major Dybek fan is Studs Terkel, who called the writer "Chicago's blue-collar bard."
