Sin in the second city book6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Sin in the Second City provides a meticulously researched yet highly entertaining portrait of the most famous brothel in American history: the Everleigh (pronounced ever-lay) Club. The book takes us back to early 20th century Chicago, where we meet the famous and the infamous, the prosperous and the poor, the scandalous and the straight-laced. It's a trip well worth taking, and Abbott is a phenomenal tour guide. I read Sin in the Second City as part of my research for It Happened in Chicago and thoroughly enjoyed it. ![]() ![]() Q: How old were you when you first realized that you wanted to be a writer? I am delighted and honored that Karen Abbott accepted my request for an interview. I began writing as soon as I learned to read, at age four, but I never wanted to “be a writer.” Simply put, I didn’t think that was a job someone could grow up to do. ![]()
