Nelson Algren was an American novelist known for gritty, unflinching portrayals of urban life and the struggles of society's outcasts. His 1949 work The Man with the Golden Arm, which won the National Book Award and was later adapted into a 1955 film, established him as a major voice in American literary realism. Algren's standalone novels, published across nearly five decades, captured the underbelly of American cities with stark prose and deep compassion for marginalized characters.
