Author Cormac McCarthy listed this author as one of his favorites. After perusing his short stories I understand why McCarthy would like him. Algren’s style is gritty realism, his prose illuminates those everyday interactions with people in the margins going about their lives without patronizing. Explore his work and see what you think.
