Nelson Algren Centennial
Pete Lit noted last weekend that March 28, 2009 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of writer Nelson Algren. He also pointed to a couple great articles commemorating the author, including "The Ninth Man Out" by Jeff McMahon at NewCity and a new profile by Donna Seaman at Booklist.
Noted elsewhere: The Chicago Reader features "Entrapment," a previously unpublished story by Algren.
