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.

Nelson Algren biography Nelson Algren earned a reputation as a street-smart writer. His books and short stories, often about the downtrodden and forgotten of society, were filled with vivid description and haunting dialogue. To those who knew his work, Nelson Algren was one of the most authentic writers of the 20th century. He wrote things as he saw and heard them, often including dialogue between his characters that sounded authentic enough to have originated in any seedy tavern. He was talented, however, and the late newspaper columnist Mike Royko wrote that Algren's short stories were some of the finest written by anyone in America. Though he made his name in Chicago, Algren was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1909. He managed to graduate from the University of Illinois in 1931 with a journalism degree. Unable to land a job, he began hopping freight trains and hitching rides, making money at odd jobs along the way. Legend had him stealing a typewriter during one of his journies so that he could write. His experiences with down-on-their-luck people often reared their head in his writing. Algren's first two books were published in Chicago to little fanfare. The book which put Algren on the map was his 1950 Novel "The Man With A Golden Arm". It won him acclaim and garnered him the National Book Award for fiction that same year. Nevertheless, when it came time to make the book into a movie, Algren received a pittance for the rights, while the movie itself was a smash hit, featuring Frank Sinatra.

By Allen Barra Print Email Digg it Del.icio.us ... RSS Font: S S+ S++ As we observed the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, to trust the mainstream media, is awash in optimism. Polls suggested that many Americans are willing to forgive or at least forget the Bush administration's ineptitude and indifference, and between Fox News, CNN and USA Today, there seemed to be a cozy agreement to make the rest of the country feel as if the bon temps are ready to roll again. Those who have gone in search of the real New Orleans know different. New Orleans, not the tourist trap of Bourbon Street nailed by Walker Percy over 20 years ago as "Little more now than standard U.S. sleaze," is gone. In truth, not everyone mourns its passing; at least some of those who knew it wrote of it with bitterness and no little rancor. But understand that, with its passing something irreplaceable is gone. John Fante.

Z Search All Criticism: Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page Nelson Algren 1909-1981 (Born Nelson Ahlgren Abraham) American novelist, short story writer, journalist, poet, and essayist. INTRODUCTION Algren lived most of his life in Chicago and often explored in his fiction the gritty underworld of Chicago's impoverished neighborhoods. Called the "poet of the Chicago slums" by American critic Malcolm Cowley, Algren often addressed such subjects as poverty, drug addiction, violence, oppression, and social injustice in his novels and short stories. Many critics have described his work as social protest fiction and have aligned him with the realistic or naturalistic literary traditions because of his frank and passionate depiction of the underdogs in American society and his use of unsentimental prose and authentic street dialect. Although Algren is known primarily for his novels, in particular The Man with The Golden Arm (1949), winner of the National Book Award and the basis for a well-known film of the same name, his short stories have been lauded for the precision and control some critics find lacking in his longer works. Some of Algren's best-known short stories include "So Help Me," "Design for Departure," and "A Bottle of Milk for Mother," the latter of which has been widely studied and anthologized.

Following high school, Algren received his journalism degree from the University of Illinois in 1931.

CONJUNCTIONS:29 Fall 1997 Chicago Guy: Nelson Algren John Sayles I read a lot as a kid, indiscriminately. In the fifth grade I might be reading Treasure Island, The Black Stallion, The Caine Mutiny, White Fang, Fail Safe and whatever World War II combat memoirs and Readers' Digest condensed novels my parents had kicking around the house, often simultaneously. I wrote stories as well, mostly intentional or unintentional parodies of books I'd read or movies and TV shows I'd seen. But the idea that a writer was something you could be, that I might write something that could get out in the world and be read by other people, was fairly late in coming. Somebody in Boots. Typical of my scattered approach to reading, I picked it up because I saw on the jacket that he had written A Walk on the Wild Side and I really liked Brook Benton's title song from the movie (I hadn't yet seen the movie, which falls apart after the opening titles by Saul Bass). I had read Grapes of Wrath at this point, and my parents had told me stories about the Depression era, but Algren's book brought it alive to me in a more visceral wayit is an epic of powerlessness. The protagonistpoor, ignorant, smallhas some humane impulses, but it is clear they will only be a liability in the mean world he lives in. There are brief glimpses of hope, moments of peace, but then somebody in boots stomps in and the fun is over. there.

Born Nelson Ahlgren Abraham in Detroit, Michigan, Algren moved to Chicago, Illinois, with his parents at the age of three to live in a working-class, immigrant neighborhood on the South Side. His father was the son of a Swedish convert to Judaism and a Jewish American woman, while his mother (who owned a candy store) was of German Jewish descent. When Algren was eight years old, his parents moved from 7139 S. South Park Avenue (now S. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive) in the far south side neighborhood of St. Columbanus to the Albany Park neighborhood on the north side, living in an apartment at 4834 N. Troy Street while his father worked as an auto mechanic nearby on North Kedzie Avenue. Algren was educated in Chicago's public schools, graduated from Hibbard High School (now Roosevelt), and went on to study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in journalism during the Great Depression in 1931. He wrote his first story, "So Help Me," in 1933, while he was in Texas working at a gas station. Before returning home, he was caught stealing a typewriter from an abandoned classroom. For this, he spent nearly five months behind bars and faced a possible three additional years in jail. Fortunately for Algren, he was released, but the incident made a deep impression on him. It deepened his identification with outsiders, has-beens, and the general failures who later populated his fictional world.

I don't recall the source, but I'm almost sure that Warren Leming, who was the Chairman of the Nelson Algren Committee back then would know something about it. I don't have current contact info for Warren, but you could probbaly get it from the Nelson Algren Committee, which has a website at: http://www.nelsonalgren.org/ Also, Art Shay was a good friend of Nelson's. I know he lives in Deerfiled, but I don't have an addres or phone number. I happen to live right across the street from the apartment on West Evergreen that Nelson and Simone used to occupy in Wicker Park, just north of Division Street. I've heard some great stories (some of which are unprintable!) from a few of the old-timers in the neighborhood who were around during the period that Nelson lived there.
