Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Nelson Algren (1909-1981) - original name Nelson Ahlgren Abraham American author, who won the first National Book Award for fiction in 1950 for THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, later made into a film, starring Frank Sinatra. Chicago inspired Algren, as the writer James T. Farrell with whom he is often grouped, more than any other city. He depicted its drunks, pimps, prostitutes, freaks, drug addicts, prize-fighters, corrupt politicians, and hoodlums - the whole underside of urban life. Algren also published poems, essays, and short stories, the best of which include 'A Bottle of Milk for Mother' and 'How the Devil Came Down Division Street'. His trans-Atlantic love affair with the French writer Simone de Beauvoir lasted with intervals for 17 years and ended in bitter accusations. De Beauvoir dedicated her book The Mandarins to Algren, and kept his ring, but never left Jean-Paul Sartre, her life's companion, who was no good in bed. "The great strength of a fighting man is his pride. That was Young Rocco's strength in the rounds that followed. The boy called Kid Class couldn't keep him down. He was down in the fourth, twice in the fifth, and again in the seventh. In that round he stood with his back against the ropes, standing the boy off with his left in the seconds before the bell. He had the trick of looking impassive when he was hurt, and his face at the bell looked as impassive as a catcher's mitt."

Video Author Algren's Book Reviews Message Board A Walk on the Wild Side Dove Linkhorn, a teenager, leaves Texas and hopes to find something better in New Orleans. It is the Great Depression, there are no jobs, and Dove cannot read. He tries working on a ship, selling coffee pots, making colorful condoms, but finds he is best paid using his body to "de-flower" a "virgin" in peep-shows. Feeling degraded, he starts drinking heavily. Meanwhile, he falls for one of the most beautiful prostitutes in the brothel he works for, M... Chicago: City on the Make The premise is, the city's been on the make since the first fur-trader hornswaggled the first Pottawattomi Indian and the acceleration of such innate corruption is what shaped the great city. The work is a mile-a-minute dishing out of historical references, allegations and celebrations. ... Never Come Morning Bruno Bicek and Steffi R have dreams beyond the reality of their Chicago City existence and the nightmarish control of the Barber, Bonifacy Konstantine. Bruno Bicek is a boxing contender and Steffi R is the girlfriend he let be gang-raped. The Barber knows this and that Bruno Bicek has murdered one of the gang. The Barber has Steffi R in his grasp and has no intention of letting her go. Bruno Bicek is sure of his chances and intends taking her from him. ... The Man with the Golden Arm A weak willed inner city back ally hustler, whos only real talent is his dexterity with a deck of cards, becomes hooked on drugs. And as his tragic and short life spins out of control I found the city of Chicago (circa 1949) constantly stealing the show. Nelson Algrens' vivid decriptions of the citys underbelly can not be matched for there gritty realism. So much so that to really enjoy and understand this book I would recommend reading it twice.

Click for words events Nelson Algren's Secret The true story behind "City on the Make" Jeff McMahon See Also: The evidence The story from one who was there It isn't hard to love a town for its greater and its lesser towers, its pleasant parks or its flashing ballet. Or for its broad and bending boulevards, where the continuous headlights follow, one dark driver after the next, one swift car after another, all night, all night and all night. But you never truly love it till you can love its alleys too. Where the bright and morning faces of old familiar friends now wear the anxious midnight eyes of strangers a long way from home. From Nelson Algren's "Chicago: City on the Make" When a rising young novelist named Nelson Algren turned his pen to his own city in 1951, he seemed to plunge his fist into Chicago's chest and show the big-shouldered burg its own bloody beating heart. In "Chicago: City on the Make," he crosses the boulevard but lingers in the alley, notices the shining tower but dwells on the seething slum, nods to the self-made billionaire but nestles all the long icy night with the gin-soaked stewbum. He paints a picture of two Chicagos, and Chicagoans have seen double ever since.
