A review by oceanlistener
An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser
3.0
I think this book must have been pretty well written, because I hated Clyde through the entire book- such a whiny, selfish little twit. Even so, by the end of the book I was feeling some serious sympathy for him, despite all that he did.
It's an indictment against the classicism of America, but it would have been more striking to me if Clyde hadn't been such an overall unlikeable character- I didn't really see that he deserved more than what he had.
