rodzvilla thinks this book is Worth Reading.
Fiction originally published in the 1940s. New York. Character driven. Writer from the New Yorker best known for Joe Gould's Secret? At least the movie. The writing is as fresh as when first published. Quick read. Striking prose. Example of what American fiction should be. This is the kind of writing one expects in anthologies on how to write. Books like this hold me for the rest of the year as I trudge through faddish fiction and quickly composed books. Elegant in form, common in subject matter and comfortable in tone. You should already know what to expect from this.
