I Sailed with Magellan by Stuart Dybek

4.0

Several stories about life in Chicago's South Side, varying degrees of connection between the stories. The stories seemed to feel more universal as time progressed. Maybe that was just me finding the later stories more relatable because they seem to take place in the 1970s... a decade much more familiar to me than the 1950s of Dybek's youth. I did, however, like the stories of the protagonist's childhood better than those of adolescence and beyond... so there's that.

This time I did not consume a collection of stories in a couple of marathon sessions. It was a much better experience as a result.
