Lengthily inscribed and signed by the Civil War historian Bruce Catton to journalist and writer [though *not* the McTeague author] Frank Norris, "on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his birth." The inscription continues with a long poem that incorporates the words from the book's title and concludes with the line "An 'Outline'? Pregnant indeed for liminal chirascuro [sic]! / Fulfill thy Destiny oh friend. / Bruce Catton / 3/3/57 / By the way. How's *your* stuff selling?" This Frank Norris is most likely Frank Callan Norris (1907-1967), a writer and editor for Time and Newsweek and later author of three novels [Nutro 29 (1950), Tower in the West (1957), and At Last to Kiss Amanda (1961)] who, according to his obituary, coined the phrase "World War II.".
