Nelson Algren's Legacy

I saw this notice at http://human.ntu.ac.uk/baas/ver4/algren.html:

I’ve got this picture of a bunch of english professors jetting to Leeds to sip tea and have an erudite conference on the subject of hookers, ghettos, junkies, and bums.

Did anyone else notice that Nelson Algren is an anagram for “Johnny Angel”? I think we’ve got a case of self-promotion here!


“I’ll tell him but I don’t think he’ll be very keen. He’s already got one, you see!”

Don’t be a fool. Everybody knows my penname is Hynjon Lange.
