Nelson Algren's SOMEBODY IN BOOTS is a great achievement in sustained realism. His hero, Cass McKay, in flight from the brutalities of a home he hated, wanders across America, jumping trains, trying to survive amidst the submerged tenth, finally, in the Chicago his author knows so well, fighting desperately for happiness with the girl he loved against all the savage chaos of an indifferent society.
