The Last Carousel

Praise

“What an exhilarating experience it is to read Nelson Algren’s new collection of stories!” –Chicago Sun-Times


“It’s about time! When we’ve got a living American writer as surefooted and as fast off the mark as Nelson Algren, it’s almost criminal not to have something of his hard in covers at least once a year, to heft and roar at and revel in . . . What we have here in this big fat volume is a cockeyed chrestomathy of 37 Algren pieces . . . with his hallmark stamped on every link.” –New York Times Book Review


“Essential Algren.” –Washington Post


“Very good, fast, funny and tough . . . Algren, where have you been hiding.” –San Francisco Chronicle
