Free, and other stories

Dive into Theodore Dreisers inaugural collection of short fiction, first published in 1918. Renowned primarily for his novels like Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy, Dreiser also masterfully navigated the realm of short stories, drawing on his experiences as a magazine editor. In this collection, youll encounter tales that encapsulate Dreisers stark naturalistic worldview, where characters often find themselves marginalized and battling against an indifferent universe that offers little hope for fulfillment. Join narrator James Hutchisson as he brings these poignant narratives to life.
