In his new novel, Scott Simon now gives us a story that is both laugh-out loud funny and heart piercing: as sprawling, brawling, and funny as Chicago, where politics is a contact sport. Windy City is a rollercoaster of a novel that dips and soars through the amusement park of politics.  It will win votes as the best political novel in many years. Its personal story — about a flawed, decent man thrust suddenly under hot lights — will also win hearts.   Windy_City_main.html
The universally respected NPR journalist and bestselling memoirist Scott Simon makes a dazzling fiction debut.

In this book, broadcaster Scott Simon reveals how Robinson's heroism brought the country face-to-face with the question of racial equality. From his days in the army to his ascent to the major leagues, Robinson battled bigotry at every turn. Simon deftly traces the journey of the rookie who became Rookie of the Year, recalling the taunts and threats, the stolen bases and the slides to home plate, the trials and triumphs.

In this memoir that runs from childhood to adulthood through times of war and peace, Scott Simon follows a delightfully meandering path, movingly tracing his life as a fan — of sports, theater, politics, and the people and things he holds dear. Although the narrative moves in and out of some of the world's great datelines, it is ultimately a Chicago memoir: a love poem for that great, rusty, lusty, most utterly American of cities.Home_and_Away_.html
