Description

Vintage paperback [Signet Classics series CO 201] An early example of American realism, McTeague was considered truly shocking when first published in 1899. This searing portrait of the downfall of a slow-witted dentist and his avaricious wife embodies Frank Norris's powerful insights into conflicting forces of heredity and social conditioning. It is a novel of compelling narrative force, resounding with a sense of life as epic. Afterword by Kenneth Rexroth. 248p.P. Tight Vintage copy, light cover wear.
