Theodore Dreiser set out to create an epic character and, in the form of Clyde Griffiths in "An American Tragedy", he succeeded. Griffiths is just a Midwest kid, the son of a preacher in Kansas City, who tastes a little sophistication and then hits the road seeking pleasure and success. He has his moments, conducting more than one romantic affair, until that ill-advised pursuit ensnares him. Then he reads about an "accident" of a young woman and ponders a dastardly deed... Dreiser spins these scenes with the eye of a master in control of his form. An American Tragedy stands as an American masterpiece.
