This article focuses on the books "The Color of a Great City," by Theodore Dreiser and "Nowhere Else in the World," by Jay William Hudson. The labor which goes to the making of one of Dreiser's books is not concealed in art. All his dogged determination to conquer his inarticulateness and all his struggles with a craft for which he has none of the superficial fitness are painfully evident, but one must not complain too much about that, because his virtues as well as his vices are in a large part due to the fortunate fact that he was born not an artist but an honest man.
