Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Typical Newspaper Stories Tugged by some centripetal force to wherever there is a clash of human passions, he is always "on the spot." Unlike his brother, the novelist, who fashions out of the furnace of his mind at painstaking intervals some finely modeled bit of porcelain, the furnace of this mans soul is always at full draft. Into it is flung day by day all the inflammable stuff of life - the mixed ingredients of heroism, murder, revolution, passionate love. And steadily, inexorably, it is poured out again, uncritical of itself, slag and ore, half drivel and half literature. The recompense he works for is to have his fellow workers say "Good story." His only critic is "the desk." To-day, yesterdays "good story" is lighting the morning fire in a thousand tenements. Anonymity, which guards him from self-consciousness, stands also mockingly between him and fame. He snatches his friendships like his meals, as stokers must strike up their friendships between shifts when the Mauretania is "out for a record." Yet there is no freemasonry like this. From behind the scenes he makes the puppets of the world´s stage dance for us. But we can suspect his smile, as he surveys our antics, to be something between pity and contempt. - Will Irwin, in Collier´s Weekly About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
