¿Quién salió con Nelson Algren?

Nelson Ahlgren Abraham (Detroit, 28 de marzo de 1909-Sag Harbor, 9 de mayo de 1981) conocido como Nelson Algren, fue un escritor estadounidense.

Hijo de un maquinista, creció en Chicago y trabajó a su modo mientras estudiaba en la Universidad de Illinois, en tiempos de la Gran Depresión. Sus novelas capturan la atmósfera del lado oscuro y pobre de las ciudades y están liberadas del habitual naturalismo por su visión del engreimiento, la gracia y los inagotables anhelos de sus personajes.

Entre sus más populares obras se encuentran The Man with the Golden Arm de 1949 (apareció en la pantalla grande en 1956) y Walk on the Wild Side de 1956 (apareció en la pantalla grande en 1962). También publicó, en 1947, una afamada colección de cuentos llamada The Neon Wilderness.​

Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (UK: , US: ; French: [simɔn də bovwaʁ] ; 9 January 1908 – 14 April 1986) was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, social theorist, and feminist activist. Though she did not consider herself a philosopher, nor was she considered one at the time of her death, she had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory.

Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, short stories, biographies, autobiographies, and monographs on philosophy, politics, and social issues. She was best known for her "trailblazing work in feminist philosophy", The Second Sex (1949), a detailed analysis of women's oppression and a foundational tract of contemporary feminism. She was also known for her novels, the most famous of which were She Came to Stay (1943) and The Mandarins (1954).

Her most enduring contribution to literature is her memoirs, notably the first volume, Mémoires d'une jeune fille rangée (1958). She received the 1954 Prix Goncourt, the 1975 Jerusalem Prize, and the 1978 Austrian State Prize for European Literature. She was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961, 1969 and 1973. However, Beauvoir generated controversy when she briefly lost her teaching job after being accused of sexually abusing some of her students.
