"A Christmas Carol, 1978"
In 1978, Mike Royko updated Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol to late-1970s Chicago. The hilarious result, "A Christmas Carol, 1978" was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on December 24, 1978 and was later collected in Sez Who? Sez Me, my favorite Royko compilation book. Here is my sonorous (but, I hope, not soporific) reading of this holiday classic.Download "Royko Christmas Carol 1978"
