Status Updates From An American Tragedy

There are lot of similarities to Sister Carrie in this book.. Ahhh the enticement of material comfort, the illusory promises of status, the beguiling manipulative ways of the fairer sex and the perils that the pursuit of such desires can lead one to! These are the themes.

p.13/618. Part 1, Chapter 3.

I like Dreiser's writing. Sometimes his run on descriptions are a little much and his Jersey accent seems a bit off but I love it so far.

Closing in on the end at last. I've learned a great deal from the experience and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Hegglund from Jersey City sure talks a lot like Jim from Huckleberry Finn! Not so sure that Dreiser has the best written interpretation of the jersey accent.

Hooboy here we go. A true literary dagwood! The longest effort undertaken in a while. As I loved "Sister Carrie" I'm assumning In will love this. The first eight pages were good :)
