In Newspaper Days, first published in 1922 under the title A Book about Myself, Theodore Dreiser explored his personal life during the time he spent as a reporter for newspapers in Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and New York in the 1890s.
Library Journal
Cut by 30,000 words when first published in 1922 as A Book About Myself , this record of Dreiser's early venture into journalism is first published here in its entirety. In his familiar, lumbering style, he recaptures the wide-eyed, naive 20-year-old whose newspaper reporting in Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and New York between 1890 and 1894 destroyed his middle-class morality. Suffused with a sense of wonder at life's mystery and injustice, Newspaper Days offers a lively account of rough-and-tumble journalism, a vivid picture of America's gaudy-corrupt Gilded Age, and a priceless self-portrait of the sentimental, yearning, answer-seeking maverick soon to create Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy . Recommended for all libraries.-- Charles C. Nash, Cottey Coll., Nevada, Mo.
