In “The Street,” the chilly winds that blow over the Chicago jail yard & streetcar tracks swirl over the city, taking us on a tour of the bleak, immigrant neighborhoods of Willard Motley’s 1947 best-seller "Knock on Any Door." The voice intones the book’s epilogue, introducing us to the underclass inhabitants whose grim futures seem as sealed and hopeless as Nick’s, the novel’s ill-fated protagonist.
