Handling and dusty marks on the outer page edges. -- The second novel in James T. Farrell's O'Neill-O'Flaherty pentalogy, originally published in 1938, continues the panoramic chronicle of two interconnected Irish-American families in early twentieth-century Chicago. Picking up where A World I Never Made left off, the narrative follows the young Danny O'Neill as he grows up caught between two households - that of his impoverished natural parents, the O'Neills, and that of his comparatively comfortable grandparents, the O'Flahertys, who have taken him in because his own family cannot support their many children. This University of Illinois Press edition, featuring an introduction by Charles Fanning, a leading scholar of Irish-American literature, places the novel within the broader arc of Farrell's achievement. Readers of American naturalism, urban fiction and immigrant literary history will find the book essential reading. Farrell's meticulous, cumulative method - building meaning through the patient accumulation of ordinary detail rather than dramatic set pieces - remains a distinctive contribution to American realism, and this pentalogy is widely regarded as the fullest realisation in American fiction of three generations of Irish-American life.…
