Sommario/riassunto |
|
Known for his sometimes-gritty naturalism and use of Appalachian dialect, Harry Harrison Kroll (1888-1967) was a remarkably prolific Tennessee novelist and short-story writer during the middle decades of the twentieth century. His career spanned two of the three major shifts in publishing during the twentieth century: the heyday and decline of the fiction magazine market during the late 1920's, and the rise of nonfiction and solidification of paperback marketing during the 1950's. Never Been Rich explores details of Kroll's humble, rural youth, his long delayed education |
