What is The Man with the Golden Arm (50th Anniversary Edition): 50th Anniversary Critical Edition about?

SUMMARY:The Man with the Golden Arm is Nelson Algren's most powerful and enduring work. On the 50th anniversary of its publication in November 1949, for which Algren was honored with the first National Book Award (which he received from none other than Eleanor Roosevelt at a ceremony in March 1950), Seven Stories is proud to release the first critical edition of an Algren work. The Man with the Golden Arm is the classic American novel of the post-war period. Algren himself had wanted this relentlessly dark novel to be titled "Night Without Mercy," although he finally relented and allowed his publisher, Doubleday, to use their preferred title. Algren would name his cat Doubleday. Special contributions by Russell Banks, Bettina Drew, James R. Giles, Carlo Rotella, William Savage, Lee Stringer, Studs Terkel, Kurt Vonnegut, and others. "The finest American novel published since the war."-Washington Post Book World "A true novelist's triumph." TimestrongChicago Sun Times/em
