Studs Lonigan is the subject of a trilogy of novels by American author James T. Farrell: "Young Lonigan", "The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan", and "Judgment Day ".

In James T. Farrell's classic novels of Irish life on the South Side of Chicago, Farrell portrays sympathetically and graphically his protagonist's coming of age.

"The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan" helps us understand the virulence of racism and how its unchecked rapacity helped produce and reproduce the ghetto.

The American writer Studs Terkel is nicknamed after Studs Lonigan.
