Publicada por primera vez en 1962, y durante años extraviada de las librerías, Chicago Chico regresa para que los lectores descubran un mundo que subyace a la historia oficial. Fernando “Chicoco” Escudero, el entrañable protagonista de esta novela, transita por los bordes de la sociedad, impregnándose de la marginalidad y expuesto a situaciones extremas en los bajos fondos, de la mano de una galería de personajes que conforman la Cáfila hampona: Cachetón Pelota, Malalo, Muleta, Pomarropia, Carreta Vieja y Gomina, viejos estandartes de la delincuencia, tráfico y trata de blancas de Santiago y Valparaíso. La bohemia y la noche cautivan al protagonista, al igual que las prostitutas que lo enamoran día tras día: Olga, Persy, Ninoya y Pecosa serán su camino incierto entre hoteles y salones de baile, siempre al ritmo del hot jazz. Este libro de culto viene a rescatar la obra de Armando Méndez Carrasco, un escritor que supo dar cuenta de los márgenes, de su habla y talante, conformando una novela que opera como retrato de época, pero también como una obra viva que ilumina las zonas oscuras de nuestro presente. 10
