Seller's Description:
Good. 'Circumstances are stronger than personalities, ' writes Dreiser in one of the shorts compiled here, 'and the impotence of individuals is the tragedy of everyday life. ' While better known as a novelist, the American literary naturalist generated a number of briefer works, encompassing a spectrum of 'fiction and semi-fiction', according to Nostwich's intro; they're gathered here and packaged in a typically beautiful BSP edition, featuring design by self-taught virtuoso, Barbara Martin: matte wraps, cornflower flyleaves, and an elegant wraparound cover. Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some light to moderate wear to the covers, including a bumped corner and a few small areas of light soiling and indentation. 410 pp. Fiction.
