Excerpt from Joseph Hergesheimer, the Man and His Books The salient fact about Joseph Hergesheimer is that he cannot be predicted.

He refuses to impoverish the soil of any one field of human life by too continuous planting. And perhaps that fact is not unconnected with the fact that Mr. Hergesheimer is the only contemporary American novelist who is treated by English critics with out their two most usual manners toward American novelists: patronage or a very curt nod in passing.
