"Fighting Words" is the theme of the latest chapter in Reading Under the Influence's ongoing series. Four Chicago literary heavyweights dish out their pugilistic prose tonight, but it's J. Adams Oaks who deservedly carries the marquee. Oaks' award-winning debut Why I Fight might carry the Young Adult tag, but like fellow Chicagoan Stephanie Kuehnert (I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone), he still packs a wallop of universal pathos and adolescent rage into the familiar coming-of-age theme. Oaks is joined by fellow 2nd Story contributor Nadine Warner and locals Ramsin Canon and Kyle Chaney.
