“In the end, his account of the bitter beverage has a hard-won sweetness. This quirky, enlightening, unexpectedly poignant book isn’t only for aficionados of the offbeat Chicago liquor, but fans of stubborn underdogs everywhere.” Great review in the @WSJ wsj.com/arts-culture/b…

I just finished Josh’s book. It is indeed a page-turner. It not only fleshes out a little-known “heroic” story, but also illuminates some of Chicago’s soul. And unlike Malört itself, bitterness is in very short supply. Marvelously done.

FINALLY: After six years, we at the Chicago Tribune Guild have won our first contract. We are so proud of what we ratified today with near unanimous support: raises, bonuses, salary minimums, AI protections, seniority rights & more. How did we get this done? (1/7)
