Scott Simon's new novel about Chicago politics, Windy City, is part Julius Caesar, part Primary Colors. When the mayor is killed by poison pizza, members of the overflowing City Council plot to take his seat and gather district pork by any means necessary. Author Simon, host of NPR's Weekend Edition, has earned high marks for his nuts-and-bolts portraits of government chicanery and loving eye for Chicago's multicultural social fabric. With Gov. Rod's name popping up in the ongoing Rezko-gate, local politics are confounding as ever. Scott Simon offers the only rational option— a good laugh.
