THE TEXAS STORIES OF
NELSON ALGREN
Edited and with an introduction by
Betina Drew
Few people realize that "the
poet of the Chicao slums" ever
lived or wrote here. Yet it was
in the Depression-era Rio
Grande Valley that Algren
developed his instinctive need
to speak for the powerless.
The collection includes a 1935
O'Henry Award winner, a
retelling of the legend of Bonnie
and Clyde, and Thundermug, a
piece that was censored when it
first appeared in 1935.
