McTeague created a li***ry sensation when it first appeared in 1899. Critics hailed Frank Norris as the "American Zola" for his gritty tale of greed and violence set in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. Yet the novel's ultrarealistic portrayal of the rise and fall of a ***minded dentist and his gr***ing wife shocked many readers with its candid depiction of sordid behavior right at the edge of insanity. It remains a searing indictment of human weakness and selfishness in a rapidly evolving America that battled to reconcile city life with the mores of the Wild West.

"McTeague is one of the great works of the modern American imagination," wrote Alfred Kazin. "The novel glows in a light that makes it the first great tragic portrait in America of an acquisitive society. McTeague's San Francisco is the underworld of that society, and the darkness of its tragedy, its pitilessness, its grotesque humor, is like the rumbling of hell. Nothing is more remarkable in the book than the detachment with which Norris saw it--a tragedy almost li***lly classic in the Greek sense of the deba***t of a powerful man--and nothing gives it so much power." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
