Great Lake, the legendary (and legendarily iconoclastic) pizza joint that fixated (and sometimes frustrated) Andersonville for five years, has returned, a dozen years later. Last week, in true Great Lake fashion, it opened very quietly on Berwyn Avenue, two blocks from its original home on Balmoral Avenue. Already, it’s remarkable: It opened without an online footprint, blip of social media, publicity campaign to herald its return, or much of a storefront sign to direct you.

Summer reading, if you ask me, should meander, without a plan. Pick up, put down, misplace, leave crusty with sand or warped with humidity. Fall is for rigor, winter for hunkering down, spring for peering ahead, but the right summer read is a promising dirt road in a field. Someday, when I open a bookstore and the big bucks roll in, I'll shelve titles in very narrow categories, ensuring no one finds anything - except what they didn't know they wanted. This summer survey will be my trial run.
