内容摘要 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. One of the most neglected American writers and also one of the best loved, Nelson Algren wrote once that 'literature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by conscience in touch with humanity.' His writings always lived up to that definition. He was born in 1909 in Detroit and lived mostly in Chicago. In 1935 he published his first novel, Somebody in Boots. In early 1942, Algren put the finishing touches on a second novel and joined the war as an enlisted man. By 1945, he still had not made the grade of Private first class, but the novel, Never Come Morning, was widely praised and eventually sold over a million copies. Jean-Paul Sartre translated the French-language edition. Algren went on to write a number of novels, story collections, and travel writings including The Neon Wilderness (1947), The Man with the Golden Arm (1949), which won the first National Book Award for Fiction, the prose poem Chicago: City on the Make (1951), and A Walk on the Wild Side (1956) among others. His last novel, The Devil's Stocking, based on the life of Hurricane Carter, Nonconformity: Writing on Writing, and Entrapment and Other Writings, a collection of lost and unfinished writings were published posthumously.
