"""Algren scholars are forever indebted to Richard Bales for his latest book. Meticulous annotations prove the book is researched thoroughly...belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who loves Algren.""--Sue Rutsen, co-founder, Nelson Algren Museum of Miller Beach ""Terrific photos...clear and concise writing. Even the most ardent and knowledgeable Algren fan will find here things new to them and be pleased to have done so.""--Chicago Tribune ""Weaving outstanding biographical narrative with an impressively researched, deeply nuanced and highly documented compilation and analysis of the lesser-known Nelson Algren canon. Mr. Bales supplies rich insights into the forgotten world of pulp magazine publishing where Algren writings appeared in later years, revealing in fascinating detail the inner man--his passion, peccadilloes, and occasional spitefulness toward fellow authors and contemporaries. The oft-repeated literary adage, 'a page turner' truly applies to The Short Writings of Nelson Algren.""--Richard Lindberg, author of Tales of Forgotten Chicago"
