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.

Thick but light wallet with many card holders
Size: One Size, Color: Oxford Black
Similar to my other trifold Tommy Hilfilger wallet that it is replacing that lasted almost 10 years. The leather itself doesn't feel particularly thick and the stitches are just average. There was some glue in the edges of some of the card pockets that needed to be broken up, but the pockets fit cards well otherwise. It is quite thick due to the capability to hold 9 cards in its inner faces + 1 ID card. However, it is quite light. At this price, I think the quality is reasonable.

Tommy quality at a good price
Size: One Size, Color: Red/White/Blue, Size: One Size, Color: Red/White/Blue
I have always like Tommy Hilfiger products. As a young man, it was the clothing brand of choice in my HS years. And years later, I still enjoy anything of this brand I can get. I got some TH towels a year or two ago and they were great. But I digress. This wallet came contained in a premium box.. encased in the same leather that the wallet is crafted out of. And let me tell you, the smell of new leather is such a cozy and welcoming smell. The wallet is stitched well with no sign of any possible unraveling in the near future. The colors are amazing and the leather is soft and pliable. Plus having RFID blocking material within it's core in a plus. It's only bad point.. that it is made in India and not the good ol US of A. But hey, at least it's not China ehh? Very giftable and a very good price for the brand and quality. I would get again.

Works as it should. Magnet is pretty strong so it holds its closed position well. Fits all my cards great. Easy to pull out DL. Overall design looks and feels nice and sturdy. Leather feels great and durable. Cards are easy to access; put in and slide out.
