Bob V asked:
Did you ever get around to reading McTeague by Frank Norris?
Great characters, whopper ending.
************ Hey. You're making me feel guilty. Haha. I've
got it and I've picked it up to start it a couple times but
haven't got the job done. I'll try and correct that.
I thought of another important pre-1920 author I left out.
Jack London. I'd say he established a very solid connection
between American naturalism and the coming of noir. Oh! While
we're on that subject, it would be a shame not to mention
Stephen Crane. I had read several of his short stories and
Maggie quite a while ago. I just recently read Red Badge of
Courage.
I didn't think it was anywhere near as effective as
Maggie or most of the stories, either.
