"I had bought a map, and I followed Martin Luther King Drive from its northernmost to its southernmost point, down byways and alleys, past the apartment buildings and vacant lots, convenience stores and bungalow homes. And as I drove, I remembered ...  I made a chain between my life and the faces I saw, borrowing other people's memories. In this way, I tried to take possession of (Chicago), make it my own. Yet another sort of magic."
