According to H.L. Mencken, "American writing before & after his time, differed almost as much as biology before & after Darwin." "Dreiser's great first novel 'Sister Carrie' came to housebound & airless America like a great, free Western wind, & to our stuffy domesticity gave us the first fresh air since Mark Twain & Walt Whitman," Sinclair Lewis declared in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech in 1930. Carrie Meeber, an 18-year-old small-town girl drawn to bustling Chicago, becomes the passionless mistress of a good-humored traveling salesman & then of an infatuated saloon manager Hurstwood who leaves his family & elopes w/ her to New York. Dreiser's brilliant, panoramic rendering of the two cities' fashionable theaters & restaurants, luxurious hotels & houses of commerce, alongside their unemployment, labor violence, homelessness, degradation & despair makes this the 1st American novel on a grand scale. In a 1911 review, H.L. Mencken wrote, "'Jennie Gerhardt' is the best American novel I have ever read, w/ the lonesome but Himalayan exception of 'Huckleberry Finn.' It has no more moral than a string quartet or the first book of Euclid." Beautiful, vital & generous, but morally naive & unconscious of social conventions, Jennie emerges superior to the succession of men who exploit her. There are no villains in the novel; in Dreiser's view, everyone is victimized by the desires the world excites but can never satisfy. Dreiser's embracing compassion is felt in "Twelve Men" (1919), a collection of portraits of men he knew & admired. They range from "My Brother Paul" (Paul Dresser, vaudeville musical comedian & composer of "On the Banks of the Wabash" & "My Gal Sal") to "Culhane, the Solid Man," a sanatorium owner & former wrestler. Dreiser recalls these anomalous individuals & the twists of fate that shaped their lives without sentiment but w/ honest emotion & respect for the bleak & unvarnished truth. * The LIBRARY of AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.
