ALGREN, Nelson (1909?1981). Pair of Typed Letters Signed (?Nelson?) to a Hollywood Agent. Chicago, Illinois, July 2, 1958 and January 23, 1965. 2 pages, 8vo, one on personal letterhead. Both boldly signed by Algren in Sharpie to Sam Gelfman of General Artists Corp. The first letter Algren writes that he is sending a couple of carbon copies of a story that ?might have TV or dramatic possibilities?. The other, Algren appears frustrated that his novel is not getting adapted into a film and that ?the only producer interested wants to adapt himself?.
