In honor of the passing of Wicker Park's Queen Bee, Sophie Madej, and inspired by Dave Hoekstra's post on his website, WFMT's Critic at Large, Andrew Patner, takes us on the journey to Chicago's West neighborhood, through the words and voice of Chicago novelist Nelson Algren in this week's Arts Feature. This web addition of this week's Arts Feature includes another selection of Nelson Algren, Chicago: City on the Make.
