Drawn from those presented at an international symposium held in Leeds in 2000, these papers reflect new thinking about Algren's work far beyond The Man with the Golden Arm. Participants comment on Algren's role as an outsider, his use of self-portrait as meaningful structure, his perceptions of the destructive character, his use of spatial enclosures in Never Come Morning and his manipulation of detachment and compassion in the same, his depiction of narrative perspective and the colonized underclass in The Man with the Golden Arm, Chicago boosterism and his own negation, his association with carnival, the impact of the paperback on his reputation, his milieu, and the contents of the Algren archive at the Ohio State U. libraries.
