Chicago Lit50

Speaking of lists, Newcity has posted a list of the "Top 50" Chicago writers. It seems like an odd undertaking--maybe even more so than The New Yorker's self-serving 20 Under 40 list--but fun anyway.

And so I'm looking at the list and there are several people I actually know, which is cool.

It's funny to read the comments, too, like the one from "ALH" (could that be Aleksandar Hemon, #2 on the list?).
