This extraordinary collection of short stories reminds us how great
a talent Dreiser was. A giant among American writers, he fought
throughout his career to capture life in realistic terms. In his
stories as well as his celebrated novels, he sought to uncover the
problems of common Americans at the turn of the century-their
struggles with society and their dreams of power and wealth against
a backdrop of threatening poverty. "Dreiser has no peer in the
American short story....As fine as his novels are, they do not
attain the artistic wholeness of his short tales. Among the
moderns, there is almost no one capable of writing tales like
these. The best of today is pallid and non-human when compared with
Dreiser's compassionate searchings."-from the Introduction by
Howard Fast.
