Algren's second and arguably best novel now with a newly rediscovered introduction by Richard Wright along with commentary by H.E.F. Donohue, Kurt Vonnegut, and Algren's own 1962 preface.

Never Come Morning is unique among the novels of Algren. The author's only romance, the novel concerns Bruno Bicek, a would-be boxer from Chicago's Northwest side, and Steffi, the woman who shares his dream while living his nightmare. "It is an unusual and brilliant book," said The New York Times. "A bold scribbling upon the wall for comfortable Americans to ponder and digest." This new edition features an introduction by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and an interview with Nelson Algren by H.E.F. Donohue.

Praise for Never Come Morning

"Like a flare of light, it illumines... but in human terms. Never Come Morning towers head and shoulders over most novels."--Benjamin Appel in The Saturday Review
"an unusual book and a brilliant book: For those who can take it..." --Fred T. Marsh, The New York Times Book Review
"The best book to come out of Chicago." --Ernest Hemingway
"One of the most important American novels that I have read." --James T. Farrell
"This is Algren in his glory... Never Come Morning, even more than his masterpiece, The Man with the Golden Arm, was Nelson Algren's most painful paean to his Chicago--a cruel trek over ice sidewalks, neck bent into a monster wind that cuts streaks across your forehead like a Rizzuto Estileto..."--Barry Gifford
