Try An American Tragedy. I don’t know why he gets poor reviews from American lit profs I’ve had, but when I read him, I cringe from page to page, as he characters are truly the architects of their own destruction. They miss that Socratic exortation: “Know thyself!” I can’t stop turning the pages when I read Theodore Drieser.
