Thank you to those who selected it. Thank you also to those who selected the Aleksander Hemon story of the coffee set inherited as a token from a tragic loss. I am reminded of an earlier Granta I have which contains a story about the man who had a Beverly Hills custom hand bag store which is visited by the writer who wants to talk about Oskar Schindler, as the proprietor knew him. I loved that story and the tone of this narration on Chicago reminds me of it. I used to go to Granville avenue in the 1980's to visit an uncle who is a missionary priest. We played tennis near there and visited people. I later went to Cameroon to visit the same uncle.
