When Saul Bellow recalled the Chicago neighborhood of his childhood, Humboldt Park of the mid-1920s, with its lodge halls and speakers' forums, he summoned up a pungent cultural scene, aging anarchists and garment worker poets holding strong against the night, quote, Tolstoyan vegetarians, Swedenborgian single taxers, health faddists, bulging physical culturalists, dentist wives who danced the Isadora Duncan style, and a considerable variety of self-taught and often cranky theoreticians, where peculiar autodidacts and philosophers in ragged trousers brooded and raged.
Stephen WadeGUEST
Nearby, at another outdoor plaza, one still known as Bughouse Square, Saul observed regulars who included orator Facts and Figures Taylor.
Stephen WadeGUEST
