2020 J. ANTHONY LUKAS PRIZE WINNER From the bestselling author of There Are No Children Here, a richly textured, heartrending portrait of love and death in Chicago's most turbulent neighborhoods. The numbers are staggering: over the past twenty years in Chicago, 14,033 people have been killed and another roughly 60,000 wounded by gunfire. What does that do to the spirit of individuals and community? Drawing on his decades of experience, Alex Kotlowitz set out to chronicle one summer in the city, writing about individuals who have emerged from the violence and whose stories capture the capacity--and the breaking point--of the human heart and soul. The result is a spellbinding collection of deeply intimate profiles that upend what we think we know about gun violence in America. Among others, we meet a man who as a teenager killed a rival gang member and twenty years later is still trying to come to terms with what he's done; a devoted school social worker struggling with her favorite student, who refuses to give evidence in the shooting death of his best friend; the witness to a wrongful police shooting who can't shake what he has seen; and an aging former gang leader who builds a place of refuge for himself and his friends.Applying the close-up, empathic reporting that made There Are No Children Here a modern classic, Kotlowitz offers a piercingly honest portrait of a city in turmoil. These sketches of those left standing will get into your bones. This one summer will stay with you.

Good book
Format: Paperback
This is amazing book. So far it's the best finance book I've ever read. I would give it 5 stars but the delivery services was bad for 2 reasons: the book had not protection and the worker did not notify me when leaving the product at home.

Only for real men...
Style: Rough Exfoliation
So much crying here. This is not a luxurious sponge. But if your are a man, this is the hot ticket. Coarse but not like a cheese grater. Holds liquid soap well. Foams well. The elastic strap let's you keep hold of it easily and will reverse over the pad so you can use either side. Leaves your skin pink and fresh... in a manly sort of way. 😉

SELF TANNERS MUST HAVE!!
Style: Rough Exfoliation
This product is perfect for those of us who use self tanners!! For self tanners to work well and not look splotchy one needs well exfoliated skin and this sponge is exactly the right tool for the task! My skin feels so much softer, my self tanner working much better and my body lotion seems to absorb more quickly. These sponges are easy to hold and have a loop to hang from while they dry.
Every week when I wash my towels I toss the sponge(s) into a lingerie bag and wash with the towels. I always hang to dry so no idea how they’d handle a dryer.
I will never be without these sponges!

If you like it rough (enough)...
Style: Rough Exfoliation
Perhaps a tad rough for some, the Caveem scrubbers are ideal for me- rough, but not cheese-grater-aggressive. I have been using the first of my two pack for almost three months and, beyond a slight "softening" of the surface, it is in perfect shape- no deformation, no open seams, no tears, thin spots, or defects of any kind. It looks and works like near-new. The sponge is a great size for man hands- basically 6" x 4", and is thick enough to hold ample soap and water to cover quite a bit of skin without reloading. The strap is comfortable and sturdy and, perhaps trivial, but the colors are manly without branding with skulls or wrenches or some other compensatory masculine iconography!
I am very satisfied and if they ever wear out, I will happily purchase again.
