For Frankie, a murder committed may be the least of his problems. The literary critic Malcolm Cowley called The Man with the Golden Arm "Algren's defense of the individual," while Carl Sandburg wrote of its "strange midnight dignity." A literary tour de force, here is a novel unlike any other, one in which drug addiction, poverty, and human failure somehow suggest a defense of human dignity and a reason for hope. Seven Stories Press separately publishes the critical edition of The Man with the Golden Arm, the first critical edition of an Algren work, featuring an extra 100+ pages of insightful essays by Russell Banks, Bettina Drew, James R. Giles, Carlo Rotella, William Savage, Lee Stringer, Studs Terkel, Kurt Vonnegut, and others"-- $c Provided by publisher. 586 $a National Book Award 700 1 $a Giles, James Richard, $d 1937- $e other. 941 $a 1 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230404010849.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0F0422BED2AE11EDB584242D48ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
