abstract:A Walk on the Wild Side is a 1956 novel by Nelson Algren, most often quoted as the source for Algren's "three rules of life": "Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom's.
Now we don't have to go to South Africa." It's not a walk on the wild side, but there are animals here,sort of.
