Returning to his native Chicago after World War II, Nelson Algren found a city transformed. Chicago was becoming 'an October sort of city even in the spring'. Narratives of decline became building blocks of the postindustrial urban literature. This book examines these narratives as they played out in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Manhattan.
