Entertaining and insightful study of the effect of the Horation Alger myth of success on American writers who claimed to pursue other values but were obsessed with success. Deals with Theodore Dreiser, Jack London, David Graham Phillips, Frank Norris, and Robert Herrick. The values of material culture may not be satisfyiing, but for those obsessed by them it is hard to imagine alternatives. Most amusing, the writerly habit of suddenly casting characters back into poverty so they can start pulling themselves up by their bootstraps again.
