Compounding the impossible wrath of the gods was the impossible nature of the man born Nelson Algren Abraham in Detroit, 1909.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>"A man who won't demean himself for a dollar is a phoney to my way of thinking," Algren wrote in a letter in late middle age, an opinion consistent with the young Algren's conviction, taken from Whitman, that he belonged with the "convicts and prostitutes", believing that in humiliation and degradation was to be found truth. The truth mattered to Algren, but it didn't help.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>"Thinking of Melville," wrote Algren at the height of his success, "thinking of Poe, thinking of Mark Twain and Vachel Lindsay, thinking of Jack London and Tom Wolfe, one begins to feel there is almost no way of becoming a creative writer in America without being a loser."</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Algren's family moved to Chicago when he was three, and he grew up in poverty on the South Side. Chicago was his first great passion, and the city was booming, aspiring to the title of First City of the Republic. By the mid-century, it would all be over and Chicago in spectacular decline. "Loving Chicago," Algren later said, "is like loving a woman with a broken nose." It was this city in its early 20th-century struggles and urban romance that shaped Algren's vision of America.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Graduating as a journalist at the height of the depression in 1931, Algren headed south seeking work, and in 1932 landed in New Orleans, a city more Caribbean than north-American, where girls "were so hard-pressed" they would let a man sleep with them if he bought them a pork sandwich. Algren wrote his first short story not long after, in an abandoned Texas petrol station. He was later jailed for stealing a typewriter.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Algren's work was soon attracting attention for its unusual marriage of sumptuous prose and dry humour, describing a subject - the lives of those at the bottom - normally rendered in the dreariest of naturalistic tones. Algren's world, in one of the many phrases he brought into common usage (including "walk on the wild side", "monkey on the back", and "I knew I'd never make it to 21 anyway") was "neon wilderness".</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Street corners, beer halls, slum bedrooms, brothels, racetracks, police line-ups and prison cells become exotic habitats when described by Algren, and his stories play out to dramatic effect beneath arc lamps and 20-watt bulbs, in places "filling with noises and rumours of noises"; the rattle of freight cars, the hiss of downstairs laundry presses, the sound of far-off screams.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>In 1949 came his first masterpiece, The Man with the Golden Arm. This story of a Chicago junkie trying to go straight was an immediate triumph. "OK, kid," Hemingway privately noted in his copy of the book, "you beat Dostoevsky."</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>For a moment, the man who celebrated loss had success as only America can bestow.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Then there was his affair with Simone de Beauvoir. In October 1947, following de Gaulle's election victory, de Beauvoir wrote to the man she called "her husband": "I do not want to care for politics any more. God let me live just some more years to love you and be loved by you."</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>But politics and history were undoing her "beloved Chicago man" and their love affair. Against the determined conformism of the 1950s, the possibility of a nuclear winter, Red scares and the emergence of McCarthyism, Algren's destiny irrevocably altered. The times were no longer his.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>In a septic climate of rising fear, Algren used his celebrity to speak out - for the Hollywood Ten, for the Rosenbergs and against McCarthyism. Half a century later, his subsequent persecution is all the more terrifying for its insidious nature.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>The FBI assembled a 500-page dossier on Algren that could establish him guilty of nothing. In March 1953 Algren's application for a passport to travel to France was denied by the State Department "in light of his former connection to the Communist Party". In September 1953 Algren's publisher Doubleday refused to publish a short non-fiction book he had written that in part attacked McCarthyism, an extraordinary act given Algren was one of the best known and most popular writers in America at the time.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>That book - not published until more than a quarter of a century later, as Noncomformity - is an indictment of the American project from a position inescapably American in its humour, references and language. It is both the final manifestation of the lost voices of a different America - the America of Whitman, Twain and Fitzgerald - and a text that speaks to the future by reminding readers of an indigenous tradition of American radicalism founded in the experience of the dispossessed.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>It all took its toll. His marriage to Amanda Kontowicz seemed increasingly a matter to him of pity, not love. He was also a compulsive gambler who was losing large sums at poker. Algren wrote to de Beauvoir at the end of 1953 that he was depressed, and "felt himself trapped by both money and marriage". He felt he had become in every way, as he now signed letters, "the American prisoner".</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>This is the Algren who would shortly be writing A Walk on the Wild Side: lost, heartbroken, trying to hold on to his belief that writing might still matter in a country as lost as America, and that he still has something left to write for his country, a patriot who knows he is now viewed as a traitor.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Late in his life, Algren would consider A Walk on the Wild Side his best novel: "an American fantasy written to an American beat as true as Huckleberry Finn". But at the beginning it was simply a way of making easy money quickly, which he intended to use to escape his marriage and go to Paris.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>In late 1953, he struck a $100-a-week deal with Doubleday to rewrite his first novel, Somebody in Boots, as a paperback. Algren envisaged a "good, cheap, corny" readers' book: "No, it won't win any national book award. I'm aiming solely at the pocketbook traffic." But as he worked the novel transformed. He finished it in November 1955, but Doubleday rejected the manuscript and demanded he repay his advance of $8,000.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Having filed for divorce a few months earlier, he was unable to return to his home, where Amanda was living. Desperately reworking the book as he went, he later recalled how he "had to write a book in flight". Meanwhile, his hope for success in Hollywood had ended bitterly in a feud with Otto Preminger, whose film of Man with the Golden Arm Algren described as "my war with America as represented by Kim Novak".</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>"What country is there for a white man who isn't white?" Algren once asked. Maybe it was the Big Easy he created in A Walk on the Wild Side. The novel begins with Dove Linkhorn, drifter, fleeing his Texan hometown after raping the Mexican woman who has taken his virginity and evading a recruiting sergeant who wants to enlist him to fight Sandino in Nicaragua. After some adventures, in 1931 he comes "at last to the town that always seems to be rocking", a fairy-tale place of speakeasies and flophouses full of "old-time sterno drinkers and bindlestiff nomads [who] made the flophouse forenoon murky with their hardtime breath".</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Linkhorn is a good-soldier idiot with a dash of Tom Jones, an illiterate who goes to the segregated town's black toilets and drinks from the blacks-only water fountains. At one point, he gets attacked by a collie whose owner apologises: "I never knowed Queenie to go after a white man before." In New Orleans, Linkhorn finds work running scams, making condoms and as a stud in a peepshow where he deflowers women pretending to be virgins. He finally ends up in jail.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>As if to mock America's yearnings, Algren attributes them to pimps, panders, whores and con men. Algren's inverted Big Easy is a one where people "died of uselessness one by one, yet lived on behind veritable prairie fires of wishes, hoping for something to happen that had never happened before: the siren screaming toward the crashing smash-up, the gasp of the man with the knife in his side, the suicide leap for no reason at all." The true perversity of Algren's society is not sexual, but ethical: unlike America, where work is a virtue, here "nothing could lower human dignity faster than manual labour".</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>"When we get more houses than we can live in, more cars than we can ride in, more food than we can eat ourselves, the only way of getting richer is by cutting off those who don't have enough," wrote Algren, describing his true subject best.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Dove Linkhorn, Kitty Twist, Legless Schmidt, Oliver Finnerty, Reba, Hallie and all those Algren calls "the broken men and breaking ones; wingies, dingies, zanies and lop-sided kukes; cokies and queers and threadbare whores" are all in search of America, only for the reader to discover that they are America.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>When A Walk on the Wild Side was finally published by Farrar, Straus and Cudahy in May 1956, the hit of Broadway was My Fair Lady. The times could hardly have been less propitious.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>The reviews have become legendary in their savagery. Time magazine declared: "Algren has dressed his sense of compassion in the rags of vulgarity." In the New Yorker, Norman Podhoretz attacked Algren's "boozy sentimentality", claiming he said that "we live in a society whose bums and tramps are better men than the preachers and the politicians and the otherwise respectable".</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>The political crime was unmistakeable, as were the verdict and punishment. Book sales fell away. Though he continued to write and publish, Algren was finished. His novels went out of print, he was neglected, and his reputation diminished to the extent that for a time he was forgotten. It is hard to think of an American writer of similar stature who has had so little impact on subsequent American writing.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>It would be too simple to see Algren simply as a victim of the Cold War. Left-leaning though they were, his politics were not his real crime. Algren understood the nature of his offence far better than those who blackballed him. His literature threw down a question to the fundamental nature of America.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Everything in Algren is transformed into a particularly American agony, comic and tragic, and he created an idea of a spiritually compromised America so potent that for some decades no one wished to know of it. In consequence, his aesthetics were not what the new empire wanted, and nor was his subject - the dispossessed - any longer of interest.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Yet those who ascribed to him an ideology failed to understand Algren's humility in the face of the power of art to tell truths often unknown to the artist. "A writer who knows what he is doing," he once said, "isn't doing very much."</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Algren's characters fail even at failure. They manage to mismanage crime, vice, sin. Nothing is so worthless that it cannot be lost, and Algren's mean streets are revealed by the passing of time to be both as real and as allegorical as Kafka's courtrooms and castles. It is a hell, and it is the ultimate test of our humanity.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Like Chekhov, Algren believed a writer's role was to side with the guilty. He wrote: "The hard necessity of bringing the judge on the bench down into the dock has been the peculiar responsibility of the writer in all ages of man."</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>According to his friend Kurt Vonnegut, "no matter how famous he became, he remained a poor man living among the poor, and usually alone". But there was about this something that went beyond identification or Algren's belief in people. For Algren, it seems that it also enabled a form of spiritual transcendence he found necessary in order to write.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>The American dream was one of materialism, its hope that, even if you had lost everything yesterday, you might regain it today. Algren's dream is one of humanity: of how you might live a fully human life when you have lost everything and nothing can be regained - through humour, small victories and love.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>In the wake of the failure of A Walk on the Wild Side, Algren's life took an increasingly tragic turn. The same month as it appeared, a literary sensation from Europe received its first US publication. De Beauvoir's novel The Mandarins, dedicated to Algren, described a passionate affair between its heroine and an American writer called Brogan, clearly modelled on Algren.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>What to de Beauvoir was an affirmation of their love was to Algren, who had himself quarried the lives of others, a betrayal. He attacked de Beauvoir in the press. Yet privately, he still hoped to escape to Paris and to de Beauvoir. On June 26, 1956, this dream was cruelly ended when his passport was once more denied. On July 1, he rang de Beauvoir and apologised, though he was to attack her again publicly.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Now a deeply depressed man, Algren returned to what had been his own home in Chicago, and asked Amanda to take him in. There he spent most of his days sitting in his room, unable to work, often weeping. In August, he suffered a breakdown that led him to being hospitalised.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>"Amanda called me," his friend Dave Peltz recalled many years later, "and she said, he's ready, he's going to allow himself to be put into hospital care, and I came over to the house… He was half dressed, he wouldn't put on a shirt, and then he put on his shirt, then he wouldn't put on his jacket, then he put on the jacket, he wouldn't put his shoes on, then he put his shoes on and finally, after an hour, I said, I have to go. He got dressed and he sat in the car. We drove all the way north to this psychiatric hospital, got out, went into the lobby and he was supposed to sign in, he wouldn't sign in… He would make an 'S'. He took an 'N', he made an 'S', he would make an 'A' over here, and then come back and put an 'E' in between the 'N' and the 'L' and after an interminable two hours he filled in his name, and the minute he did that, it was like in a B-movie.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>"Two guys in white coats came out and they just literally picked him up and hauled him right through a big solid core door, and, as they're doing that, he's hollering 'Dave! Dave!' and they took him through the hallway and I could hear him hollering 'Dave!' and I'll tell you it's still in my ears, that scream, that 'Dave!' "</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Near the end of 1956, de Beauvoir received a letter from her beloved Chicago man saying a light had gone out in him. On December 31, Algren took a short cut across a frozen lagoon. The ice broke and, had he not been rescued, Algren would have died in its freezing waters. Close friends speculated that he had tried to kill himself.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>There is little to tell of the remaining 25 years of Algren's life. Though he wrote more books, including one posthumously published novel, the great creative period of his life was over. He took to calling himself a journalist. "The past is a bucket of ashes," he told friends.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Algren laughed in the face of the gods, but his fate is no less tragic for his own particular enduring courage. In later years, he gave the impression that there was nothing he wanted more out of life than to see a fight, go to the track or play poker.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>"This was pose, of course," Kurt Vonnegut has written, "and perceived as such by one and all." But it was pose with a price, and pose with a point. The poverty, the gambling, the losing continued. The novel writing did not. He posed until, one suspects, the pose became too fixed to escape. Algren died in 1981, de Beauvoir in 1986. She was buried with the ring he had given her.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>Algren's epitaph for Fitzgerald could apply equally to himself: "Unsaving of spirit and heart and brain, he served the lives of which he wrote rather than allowing himself to be served by them. And so he died like a scapegoat, died like a victim, his work unfinished, his hopes in ruin."</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>During Algren's childhood, America was a symbol of an ideal that could still seem revolutionary. For Whitman, a seminal influence on Algren, American democracy was a new event; for Algren, it is one more lost cause in a life devoted to lost causes, the greatest of which was writing, the act of which demanded you spend of your soul until there is nothing left but the prospect of death.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>The 50th anniversary of the publication of A Walk on the Wild Side takes on an odd resonance given the recent tragic events in New Orleans, not only because the town is the setting for the novel, but because Algren's principal concern - America's contempt for so many of its own people - is, perhaps for the first time since the 1930s, threatening to become a major issue. As they rebuild the levees of New Orleans, Americans could do worse than reread A Walk on the Wild Side.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <p>And not only they. "Vast populations, towering cities, erroneous and clamorous publicity, have conspired to make unknown great men one of America's traditions," Borges wrote. "Edgar Allan Poe was one of these; so was Melville." And so too Nelson Algren.</p> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="component article-body-text" data-test="article-body-text"> <ul> <li>'A Walk on the Wild Side' is
