ENTRAPMENT AND OTHER WRITINGS
Book ID/图书代码： 03900008B27318
English Summary/英文概要： Nelson Algren sought humanity in the urban wilderness of postwar America, where his powerful voice rose from behind the billboards and down tin-can alleys, from among the marginalized and ignored, the outcasts and scapegoats, the punks and junkies, the whores and down-on-their luck gamblers, the punch-drunk boxers and skid-row drunkies and kids who knew they’d never reach the age of twenty-one: all of them admirable in Algren’s eyes for their vitality and no-bullshit forthrightness, their insistence on living and their ability to find a laugh and a dream in the unlikeliest places.
In Entrapment and Other Writings—containing his unfinished novel and previously unpublished or uncollected stories, poems, and essays—Algren speaks to our time as few of his fellow great American writers of the 1940s and ’50s do, in part because he hasn’t yet been accepted and assimilated into the American literary canon despite that he is held up as a talismanic figure.
"You should not read [Algren] if you can’t take a punch," Ernest Hemingway declared. "Mr. Algren can hit with both hands and move around and he will kill you if you are not awfully careful."
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Nelson Algren在战后美国的都市荒野里播种人性，在那里他强有力的声音在他背后的公告牌和深入锡罐的小巷中响起、在边缘人和忽略的弃儿间在替罪羊的小混混和吸毒者间，妓女在和下之间的城市荒野上运气的赌徒，在被打得头晕眼花的拳击手和那些不省人事的醉鬼，谁知道他们有没有超过21岁：所有的人在Algren的眼里都是令人钦佩的，为他们的活力和没有胡说八道的直率，他们对生活的坚持使得他们能在最不幸的地方通过他们的能力去发现一个欢笑和梦想。
在这本书里——包含着你未完成的小说和先前未发表的或者未收录的故事、诗歌和散文——Algren提及我们的时代说是做的事情同四五十年代与他同时期的美国作家相比真的是少太多了。一部分是因为他至今不被接受与融入进入美国文学的经典尽管他被看做是一个护身符的人物。
“如果你无法承受一记重击你不应该去读Algren的文字”Ernest Hemingway 这么说道。“Algren先生（的文字）可以用双手击打你并四处移动如果你不够谨慎小心他可能会杀了你。”(LNL)
