Chicago Stories 1996 is book 1 of my 13-book series Complete Performance Work 1996-2004, collecting up all 400 slam poems, monologues and dialogues I wrote in those years for the very first time. In this particular case, the book is actually a compilation of two older titles from the GAD catalog, no longer available in their original forms -- The Sweet Alice Sessions and Kathie Lee Gifford Likes To Fuck! -- changed to this new layout to reflect the new series of publications.
