October Cities: The Redevelopment of Urban Literature

Returning to his native Chicago after World War II, Nelson Algren found a city transformed. The flourishing industry, culture, and literature that had placed prewar Chicago at center stage in American life were entering a time of crisis. The middle class and economic opportunity were leaving the inner city, and Black Southerners arriving in Chicago found themselves increasingly estranged from the nation's economic and cultural resources.

The Bittersweet Science: Fifteen Writers in the Gym, in the Corner, and at Ringside
ISBN: 9780226346205 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Weighing in with a balance of the visceral and the cerebral, boxing has attracted writers for millennia.

Editors Carlo Rotella and Michael Ezra have assembled a roster of...
