ALGREN, Nelson. A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. New York: Farrar, Straus and 
Cudahy, (1956). First Edition. A superb Association Copy INSCRIBED and 
SIGNED by the author filling the front endpaper to noted bookman and 
journalist Van Allen Bradley: "For Van,/Whose thoughtful/criticism has 
afforded/me real footing,/from a little book/about Chicago to/the 
present, and/in hope any books/I'm lucky enough to/do in the future 
will/deserve that same/consideration./Sincerely,/Nelson/Algren/May 21 
56." Algren met Bradley when he interviewed Algren for a profile for the 
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS in 1952. Bradley had previously praised Algren's 
CHICAGO: CITY ON THE MAKE as a work of genius, which Algren references 
in his inscription. A film was made of this book in 1962 starring Jane 
Fonda with a script by John Fante. Minor bump at heel of spine. Near
