"Mother Chicago is a kaleidoscopic romp through America’s most intriguing and confounding city, a city of recent ruins and distant cultures, where the past keeps erupting into the future. In prose that summons the ghostly voices of the machine age, Martin Billheimer excavates the moral core of Chicago by investigating what it did to its own lost children, the kids who were born losers at the game of late-capitalism, the exiles and runaways, the orphaned and unwanted, in a place where the city became the stern parent of its own savage history." --Jeffrey St. Clair, author Born Under a Bad Sky, editor CounterPunch Magazine
"Martin's book elegantly and harrowingly delineates a concept of American education that dwarfs Catholic nuns for sheer evil, a social engineering experiment to kill the gypsy in us all, every mother's son and daughter indoctrinated with numbed-out stooge as the goal, students with flunky in the bloodstream, capitalism's WORST form of imperialism, THEY WERE ALWAYS COLONIZING...US!"--Daniel Riccuito, The Depression Alphabet Primer, editor of The Chisler
"Martin Billheimer's, Mother Chicago, should be read by everyone who wants to revisit their past. Martin is a living encyclopedia of historical knowledge. With his keen introspection, humor and factual history of old Chicago, I felt that I was actually there looking through his eyes while exploring his childhood home. Brilliant! -- HY Thurman, Author, Co-founder of the Young Patriots Organization and the Rainbow Coalition
"Martin's style is fascinating and engrossing, and his subject is rendered in a kind of shadow that feels both totally mythic and undeniably attuned to that of its time and place. Reading it feels investigative, like a long journalistic piece, while being much more invested in impression than in detail." - Bryce Lucas, Seminary Co-op Books, Chicago
