Since I don’t like either giving or getting “spoilers”, I’ll just summarize the plot in a very general way. SC, written in 1900, was Dreiser’s first novel. Not only were there quite a few misspellings - which at least one can deal with without help - but there was also, in one instance, an entire line missing! Fortunately, since SC is in the public domain, I was able to find an online copy easily, and transcribe the missing line into my edition. Though in general I find this series almost indispensable, I was in this case put off by the number of “typos” that I found. Normally, I read a “worthwhile” book such as this on my daily commute, and devote the wearier late-evening hours to a potboiler but SC got me so hooked that it became my one-and- only read for a couple of weeks quite a tribute to this tome! I’ve just finished reading Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie.
