The Man With the Golden Arm

Ranked #71 in Chicago

Nelson Algren's devastating of that savage, subterranean world go gamblers, junkies, alcoholics, prostitutes, thieves, and degenerates remains unsurpassed as an authentic portrait of human depravity.

Only a master like Algren could create such a passionate and dramatic novel of so daring a theme as a man's struggle against dope addiction.

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, the bestseller on which Otto Preminger based his magnificent motion picture, is "a true novelist's triumph." -TIME
