Living in this city is compared to "loving a woman with a broken nose" in an essay calling it a"city on the make". That essay was written by a man who wrote about Frankie Machine in a novelset here called The Man with the Golden Arm. One novel set in this home of Nelson Algren ends withthree cries that this city "will be ours!" and depicts it as being home to a Durham fertilizer plant andBrown's (*) slaughterhouse, where Jurgis Rudkus works. Another work describes this city as a "tall boldslugger" that is "flinging magnetic curses" and calls it the "Player with Railroads" and "Hog Butcher for theWorld". For 10 points, name this "City of the Big Shoulders", the setting of The Jungle and the subject of aCarl Sandburg poem.
