High-Risers

Understanding the personal motivation behind highlighting Cabrini-Green could shed light on the choices made in framing this history. I wonder what drew Austen to this particular community.

The book presents both the struggles and resilience of the residents, but I’m curious if others felt the narrative leaned more toward pity or empowerment.

With so many perspectives involved, I wonder what guided the selection of personal stories and how that shaped the overall message of the book.
