David Mamet returns to old stomping grounds in the prohibition-era crime novel "Chicago." It's everything you would expect from him, so buckle up.
Chicago (a book review)
Storm Front (a book review)
The first book in a long series, but the origin stories are always the best. And it takes place in Chicago! What's not to love?
Golden (a book review)
A startling look at how the political machine runs and how easily it can be abused. And it's not limited to Illinois. This could happen anywhere.
MojoFiction Judges America (or tries to)
Recently, the upstanding citizens at MojoFiction received a notice calling us in for Jury duty. Obviously, someone didn’t think that through, what with our recent performance serving on the parole board for O.J. Simpson: O.J.’s Lawyer: “As you can see, when he’s not committing violent crimes, my client is a model prisoner and all... Continue Reading →
Cubs Win in Loss to Yankees. …Well, not the Cubs, but Someone.
So, there it is, the top of the ninth inning at Wrigley Field and the Cubs are down to the New York Yankees by something like three thousand runs (okay, it was five). As a Cubs fan, the night can’t get any better, right? The Cubs already blew the lead the previous day in the... Continue Reading →

MojoFiction: Brought To You By DraftKings.com
Just to cover our rear ends legally, DraftKings.com probably had nothing to do with this. Thank you. Ah, fall. That time of year when thoughts turn to college football for some inexplicable, and possibly evil reason that we can't figure out because the staff here at MojoFiction is not particularly interested in college football because...

The Chicago Fire Would Be On Fire If They Weren’t So Not On Fire
MojoFiction doesn't often report on the beautiful game. No, not Settlers of Catan, we were referring to soccer, or, for those of you still living in the past: Football That's Not American Football. MojoFiction lives in Chicagoland which, like Disneyland, is a magical place where management keeps raising the prices so a soda costs $9.95.... Continue Reading →
