Description
A gritty, powerful novel set in post-World War II Chicago. It follows Frankie Machine, a skilled card dealer and aspiring drummer, as he navigates the seedy underbelly of the city. Algren's vivid prose and unflinching portrayal of addiction, desperation, and human resilience make this National Book Award-winning novel a compelling and unforgettable read. "The Man with the Golden Arm" by Nelson Algren won the National Book Award for Fiction in 1950. This award was presented by Eleanor Roosevelt in March 1950, marking it as the first National Book Award for Fiction. The dust jacket is torn in a number of places, but still intact. See photos. I have inserted it into a Brodart mylar sleeve to protect it and keep it from tearing further. The sleeve was installed after photography. ~ ~ ~ Please examine the photos closely.

Fast & easy transaction. Packaged extremely well with a KJV Bible from the same $1.00 sale. Both books arrived in excellent used condition. Better than described. Overall, the two books are an outstanding value and replace a travelling/hospital visitation set I lost many years ago. Communications with the seller were outstanding, she was a true pleasure to do business with and I will watch for future offerings from her. AAAAA+++++
An absolutely gorgeous edition and a wonderful buying experience. This book was exactly as described and pictured in the listing, arrived very quickly, and the packaging was well done for it to arrive safely. A great value for such a stunning book. It even came with a hand-written note from the seller. Would absolutely recommend this A+++ seller to others and buy from them again
