More about the book
The novelist Frank Norris is almost forgotten today, but in books like McTeague he paved the way for a whole generation of American writers—a generation including Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, and, less directly, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. McTeague is a dentist saddled with a grasping wife. The book chronicles his rise and fall in awkward but powerful prose. This type of social realism, so contrary to the uplifting entertainment of the day (and to Mark Twain's more fanciful novels), provided turn-of-the-century America a disturbing mirror in which to view itself.
