Chicago – Brian Doyle (Hardcover, 1st Ed, Signed) Thomas Dunne 2016

If you love stories where a city becomes a character, Brian Doyle’s Chicago is a joy. The unnamed young narrator lands in the late-summer sun of the North Side and spends five “seasons” soaking up gangsters, bus drivers, shy landlords, and one unforgettable mutt. Doyle’s trademark lyrical sentences make even the L-train sing, yet the novel stays grounded in the small mercies of daily life. This copy is the true first edition (March 2016) and bears Doyle’s bold signature on the title page—perfect for readers and collectors alike. Jacket is bright with light shelf-rub; boards crisp; no interior markings beyond the author’s autograph. Whether you’re chasing modern firsts or just miss the lakefront skyline, this book will have you booking a ticket to the Loop.Item Breakdown:- Author: Brian Doyle - Title: Chicago - Format: Hardcover with dust jacket (DJ in VG condition) - Edition: First Edition, full number line “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1” (March 2016) - Signed: Yes—author signature on title page (no inscription)- Publisher: Thomas Dunne Books / St. Martin’s Press - ISBN: 978-1-250-06199-7 (EAN 9781250061997) - Pages: 320 pp. - Dimensions: approx. 8.5 × 5.8 × 1.1 in; weight ~14 oz - Genre/Topic: Literary fiction; Coming-of-Age; City-focus narrative - Language: English- Condition: Very Good book / Very Good dust jacket—light edgewear, clean text block- Special Features: Author-signed first printing; “Autographed Copy” sticker on jacket- UPC/ISBN Barcode: 9781250061997 (b
