well-rounded work on the late novelist the author makes no claim to have written the last word about him He cites as hts aim an examination of the apparent contradictions in Dreiser's life in the hope that his conclusions "will serve as a wedge for those who wish to enter the realm of final judgments" The task is well accomplished as Dreiser is not an easy man to pin down on paper NATURALLY I feel

lightly over a high wire fence to root for frozen apples That is all but little orphan Like a true Walt Disney character he is always behind the others When they come down the trail he has to hurry to
