An unmarried father. E-book. Formato EPUB Floyd Dell - Librorium Editions, 2026 -
THAT April morning Norman Overbeck drove his father to the station and put him on the early train for Springfield. The elder Overbeck—J. J. Overbeck—was going to argue a case before the supreme court. Norman, his unworthy son, as he felt himself to be, drove on to the office. Parking his car in front of the Overbeck building until he should want it again that afternoon, according to the leisurely custom of Vickley on the Mississippi, he went up the dingy, old-fashioned stairway to the Overbeck and Overbeck offices. In the hall he glanced up for a moment at the new sign with the name repeated, replacing the old one of “J. J. Overbeck, Attorney-at-Law.” It was less than a year since Norman had been admitted to the bar and been made a member of the law-firm.
The Briary Bush. E-book. Formato EPUB Floyd Dell - Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019 -
Floyd Dell was a contemporary of Sinclair Lewis. Dell's previous book, The Moon-Calf was a best seller, following the fortunes of Felix Fay, a young man from an impoverished background who was just burning to be a writer, even though he went about it in a very awkward way. The Briary-Bush follows Felix's fortunes to Chicago where he gets a job on a newspaper, gets married, and writes a play. It's all too easy for him, so he moans and philosophizes, and drives the reader crazy. One can see why Lewis is still read and Dell is not.
