Sinopsis
Nelson Algren was an American writer. He wrote his first story in 1933 while he was in Texas working at a gas station. Before returning home one evening, he was caught stealing a typewriter from an abandoned classroom. For this, he spent nearly five months behind bars. The incident made a deep impression on him. It enhanced his identification with outsiders, has-beens, and the general failures that later populated his fictional world. His novel, The Man With The Golden Arm won the National Book Award in 1950. The novel tells the story of Frankie Machine, an addict who gets clean while in prison. This complex tale takes place in mid-century Chicago and explores the circumstances that led to Frankie’s addiction as well as the stories of the community of swindlers, tenement housing dwellers, and drunks that he takes up with. As his life spirals downward, Frankie does not believe that he is worth saving. One of Algren’s accomplishments is that he has the reader cheering for Frankie, and his friends as well. A relentless evocation of life in the inner-city, its victims and survivors.

Sobre The Book Nook
We started out as a small used book store about 20 years ago. We occupied a small storefront with approx. 1000 square feet. We would find books wherever we could. Frequenting estate sales, garage sales, and auctions was a normal occurrence for us. Bringing our customers the best quality books for an even better price was our goal.We now occupy four storefronts with approx. 7000 square feet and stock well over 200,000 items. We process approx 150-400 used books each day through our trade credit program. New items hit the shelves each and every day! Through it all we still strive for the same goal. TO BRING YOU THE BEST QUALITY BOOKS FOR AN AFFORDABLE PRICE.
