An American Tragedy

An American Tragedy is a tour de force one of the most important novels in the American cannon. Ripped from the headlines it follows Clyde Griffiths a handsome ambitious man whose religious upbringing has left him unprepared to pay the price required to realize the American Dream. It's an ambitious novel that unflinchingly confronts the lie of the American Dream and myth of a classless society with opportunities for all and an extraordinary crime novel that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.
Nothing short of monumental.-- Kirkus
