Books by Mike Royko

Back by popular demand, this collection of Mike Royko's columns, totalling over 100, is wide-ranging and substantial in its subject matter.

Spanning four decades, from his early days to his last despatch , the writings in this collection reflect a radically changing America as seen by a man whose keen sense of justice and humour never faltered.

One thing the author hardly ever wrote or talked about was his private life, especially the time he shared with his first wife, Carol. She was the love of his life. His public tribute to Carol was a heart-wrenching column written on what would have been her forty-fifth birthday, "November Farewell." This book tells their story.

A collection of early columns from the "Chicago Daily News" that ranges from witty social commentary to politically astute satire.
