An American Tragedy
Theodore Dreiser set out to create an epic character and, in the form of Clyde Griffiths in "An American Tragedy", he succeeded. He has his moments, conducting more than one romantic affair, until that ill-advised pursuit ensnares him. Griffiths is just a Midwest kid, the son of a preacher in Kansas City, who tastes a little sophistication and then hits the road seeking pleasure and success.
Dreiser spins these scenes with the eye of a master in control of his form. Then he reads about an "accident" of a young woman and ponders a dastardly deed ... An American Tragedy stands as an American masterpiece.
