Chronicling a battle for truth and human dignity which gives way to a larger story of life and death decisions, literary grandmaster Nelson Algren’s last novel is a fitting capstone to a long and brilliant career.

About the Author/作者介绍： 纳尔逊·阿尔格伦(Nelson Algren, 1909 - 1981)是当代美国最为失之东隅的作家之一，也是最受人们喜爱的作家之一, 他认为," 文学是在任何情况下通过与人类接触的良知对法律机构提出挑战。他自己的大量著作证明了这一观点。阿尔格伦强有力的声音从战后芝加哥的城市荒野中冉冉升起，而他无数次流连于这座充满了妓女、瘾君子和流氓骗子的城市，最终将芝加哥的‘最底层’一面展示在世人面前。阿尔格伦荣获首届(美国)国家图书奖,被海明威誉为"美国两位最佳作家之一"。阿尔格伦让仍然是这个时代最具争议性的不朽作家。其个人发表的作品包括五部小说，两部短篇小说集，一部长篇诗集和几部报告文学作品集。1981年5月9日,阿尔格伦在被任命为美国艺术与文学学院院士的几天内去世,成为继库尔特·冯内古特和唐纳德·巴特尔梅、斯图兹·特克尔和卢·里德等艺术家的灵感源泉。One of the most neglected of modern American authors and also one of the best loved, NELSON ALGREN (1909-1981) believed that "literature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by conscience in touch with humanity." His own voluminous body of work stands up to that belief. Algren’s powerful voice rose from the urban wilderness of postwar Chicago, and it is to that city of hustlers, addicts and scamps that he returned again and again, eventually raising Chicago’s "lower depths" up onto a stage for the whole world to behold. Recipient of the first National Book Award for fiction and lauded by Hemingway as "one of the two best authors in America," Algren remains among our most defiant and enduring novelists. His work includes five major novels, two short fiction collections, a book-length poem and several collections of reportage. A source of inspiration to artists as diverse as Kurt Vonnegut and Donald Barthelme, Studs Terkel and Lou Reed, Algren died on May 9, 1981, within days of his appointment as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
