Chicago Humanities Festival | ALGREN Documentary Screening and Conversation @ChicagoHumanitiesFestival | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
It's hard to discuss Chicago literature without mentioning Nelson Algren, posits Michael Caplan’s documentary about the often forgotten writer of celebrated urban novels. Caplan transports audiences back to the gritty city landscape and brilliant mind that brought us The Man With The Golden Arm, winner of the first National Book Award. Join Caplan and journalists Mary Wisniewski and Rick Kogan at CHF for a screening and panel conversation about why Algren is such an integral part of Chicago’s literary legacy.
