March 8, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information about the book "A Hoosier Holiday," by Theodore Dreiser. In this book Dreiser describes with occasional Whitmanesque rhapsodies the sights and smells and sounds and the feel of cities, countryside's, summer resorts, mines, bridges, hotels, drug stores, saloons, garages, resorters, farmers, clerks, barkeepers, policemen, hotelkeepers, and waitresses. He has done in this book what he could to reveal their intimate and vital connection with the Dreiser family. About himself he has confessed nothing that is not patent or easily inferrible in his previous writings, and one see no serious objection to his establishing the fact that he is his own favorite hero.
