An American Tragedy is a tour de force, one of the most important novels in the American cannon. Ripped from the headlines, it follows Clyde Griffiths, a handsome, ambitious man whose religious upbringing has left him unprepared to pay the price required to realize the American Dream. It's an ambitious novel that unflinchingly confronts the lie of the American Dream and myth of a classless society with opportunities for all, and an extraordinary crime novel that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.

Nothing short of monumental.-- Kirkus

Dreiser, Theodore: - Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) was an American novelist and journalist associated with literary naturalism. Born in Indiana to a large and financially unstable family, Dreiser drew deeply on personal experience in portraying characters constrained by social and economic forces. His major works include Sister Carrie (1900), Jennie Gerhardt (1911), and The Financier (1912). With An American Tragedy, he achieved his most sustained and influential expression of the American naturalist tradition, examining the intersection of ambition, environment, and moral responsibility in a rapidly industrializing nation.
