Chicago's Nelson Algren

Chicago's Nelson Algren
- Used Book in Good Condition
They met in 1949 when Art was a reporter for Life. Shay followed Algren around with a camera, gathering pictures for a photo-essay piece he was pitching to the magazine. Life didnâ€™t pick up the article, but Shay and Algren became fast friends. Algren gave Shayâ€™s camera entrance into the back-alley world of Division Street, and Shay captured Algrenâ€™s poetry on film. They were masters chronicling the same patch of ground with different tools.
Chicagoâ€™s Nelson Algren is the compilation of hundreds of photosâ€”many recently discovered and published here for the first timeâ€”of Nelson Algren over the course of a decade and a deeply moving homage to the writer and his city. Read Algren and youâ€™ll see Shayâ€™s pictures; look at Shayâ€™s photos and youâ€™ll hear Nelsonâ€™s words.
