About this title: Often compared in scope to the writings of Norman Mailer, these stories are classic late Algren. Reprinted after 25 years, this collection of streetwise, funny stories from Algren's travels is long overdue. His bracing wit, poetic sensibility, and pathos in describing the dispossessed are fully evident.
