Nelson Algren was a renowned Chicago writer known for his social
commentary and his novels like The Man with the Golden Arm and A
Walk on the Wild Side. Although he continues to be remembered
almost exclusively for his novels, this book aims to highlight the
value and influence of his short form works. Before he died in
1981, Algren had amassed a genre-defying body of work, including
short stories, articles, poems and book reviews. The present book
features a comprehensive analysis and discussion of Algren's lost
literature, including everything but his novels. One of the pieces
covered is a masterpiece of race relations written in 1950, more
than 60 years before the galvanization of the Black Lives Matter
movement. Another is a scathing poem about Algren's transatlantic
love affair with Simone de Beauvoir. Both items are reprinted in
the book courtesy of the Algren estate. This book also includes
references to Algren's works that have yet to be studied by Algren
scholars.
