The 2014 Chicago Issue of the Chicago Quarterly Review opens with an essay by Paul Skenazy about his relationship with Saul Bellow and the city they shared. I was eighteen, child of Jewish working-class parents who finished high school in the 1930s and went to work to support themselves and their families... Paul Skenazy lives in Santa Cruz, California with his wife, his cat, and too many books acquired over thirty years of teaching literature and writing at the University of California. His fiction has recently appeared in Catamaran Literary Reader and Red Wheelbarrow. He has written two novels looking for publishing homes and is currently working on a third about Chicago. In his previous life as an academic and critic, he published books on James M. Cain and other noir writers, reviewed fiction and memoir for the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and other newspapers and for a dozen years wrote a regular column on thrillers for the Washington Post. He also revised and edited a novel, La Mollie and the King of Tears by Arturo Islas, published posthumously.
