Someone who knows nothing at all about Chicago will still find that Algren's ability to produce visual image in every paragraph makes this an interesting work. At the same time that reader will find parts of the book completely unintelligible; he will not know who Algren is talking about, what incidents are involved, or even when it all took place.

But it had swept-back wings, quick visual proof that the Russians and their German experts had been delving deep into transsonic research. It was light and maneuverable and powered by the best existing jet engine, the Rolls-Royce Nene, which the British government sold to Russia...
