Never Come Morning by Nelson Algren

Never Come Morning by Nelson Algren

Never Come Morning is unique among the novels of Nelson Algren. The author's only romance, the novel concerns Bruno Bicek, a would-be boxer from Chicago's Northwest side, and Steffi, the woman who shares his dream while living his nightmare. ''It is an unusual and brilliant book,' said The New York Times. 'A bold scribbling upon the wall for comfortable Americans to ponder and digest.' This new edition features an introduction by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and an interview with Nelson Algren by H.E.F. Donohue.

NELSON ALGREN (1909-1981), one of the most underappreciated and well-liked modern American authors, believed that literature is created whenever the legal apparatus is challenged by conscience in touch with humanity. Such belief is supported by his extensive amount of work. Algren's powerful voice sprang from the postwar urban wilderness of Chicago, and he returned again and again to that city of hustlers, junkies, and scamps, eventually bringing Chicago's deeper depths onto a stage for the entire world to see. Algren is one of our most stubborn and enduring novels, having won the inaugural National Book Award for fiction and being praised by Hemingway as one of America's two best authors. Five major novels, two collections of short fiction, a book-length poetry, and several collections of reportage are among his works. Algren died on May 9, 1981, just days after being named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He was an inspiration to artists such as Kurt Vonnegut and Donald Barthelme, Studs Terkel and Lou Reed.
