Abstract

An Old Formula Revised
Parsons, Alice Beal | May 29, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article literally appraises the book "Hardware," by Edward L. McKenna. Mr. McKenna has reapplied to fiction of a formula which enables the moderately talented man to give something worth reading, and which, if used by others as intelligently as he has used it, would restore the novel to a position of respect. His story makes very much alive an Irish saloon-keeping family in the Red Hook, a section of the Brooklyn waterfront in which Mr. McKenna also had the good luck to be born.
