NP but Nelson Algren

[Markekohut]

I have read little of him mostly because I could not feel it as literature rather than the grittiest reportage. 
My failure based on believing too much in high modernism ---among other failures of reading and experiential 
Imagination. 

I want types of ambiguity just about always, it seems.
