作者簡介
Nelson Algren (1909 1981) was an American writer well know for his novels about the the poor. He grew up in Chicago, and worked his way through the University of Illinois, graduating in journalism in the depth of the Great Depression. Algren’s first novel, Somebody in Boots (1935), relates the driftings during the Depression of a young poor-white Texan who ends up among the down-and-outs of Chicago. Never Come Morning (1942) tells of a Polish petty criminal who dreams of escaping from his squalid Northwest Side Chicago environment by becoming a prizefighter. Before the appearance of Algren’s next bookthe short-story collection The Neon Wilderness (1947), which contains some of his best writinghe served as a U.S. Army medical corpsman during World War II. Algren’s first popular success was The Man with the Golden Arm (1949; filmed 1956), which won the first National Book Award for fiction. In A Walk on the Wild Side, Algren returned to the 1930s in a picaresque novel of New Orleans bohemian life. After 1959 he abandoned the writing of novels (though he continued to publish short stories) and considered himself a journalist. His last novel, The Devil’s Stocking, which he completed in 1979, was rejected by many publishers but was published posthumously in 1983.
