Studs Terkel tells Steve Paulson about his friend Nelson Algren. Algren wrote “A Walk on the Wild Side” and won the first National Book Award for “The Man with the Golden Arm,” but was too gritty for most critics. Terkel’s latest book is “Hope Dies Last.” We also hear Algren reading from “Chicago: City on the Make.”
