The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream is a 2013 non-fiction book by Thomas Dyja that argues Chicago, in the mid-20th century, was the central force in shaping modern American culture and the "American Dream". Thomas Dyja's book makes the case that from the late 1930s through the 1950s, Chicago served as the primary "meeting place, market, workshop, and lab" for American culture and innovation. The title "Third Coast" refers to the city's position relative to New York and Los Angeles, and the author's aim to re-center the narrative of American post-war cultural history away from the traditional coastal cities. Ultimately, Dyja presents a complex portrait of a vibrant, messy city that was a major cultural cauldron in the mid-20th century, influencing the entire nation in profound and lasting ways.
