Like his more famous contemporary Upton Sinclair, American author
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN NORRIS, JR. (1870-1902) also highlighted the
corruption and greed of corporate monopolies in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries... themes that continue to make his work
riveting reading more than a century later. The Octopus, first
published in 1901, is the tale of a war between wheat growers in
California and the Railroad Trust. Rancher Magnus Derrick and
railroad representative S. Behrman square off-to disastrous
results-as poet Presley, a stand-in for Norris, observes and
chronicles the tragedy. The first part of Norris's projected
"Trilogy of the Epic of the Wheat," The Octopus is followed by
1903's The Pit, also available from Cosimo. (Norris died before he
could write the third volume, The Wolf.)
