Review Quotes:
"Theodore Dreiser is a man who, with the passage of time, is bound to loom larger and larger in the awakening aesthetic consciousness of America. Among all of our prose writers he is one of the few men of whom it may be said that he has always been an honest workman, always impersonal, never a trickster. Read this book of Dreiser's Free And Other Stories, and then compare it with a book of short stories, say by Bret Harte or O. Henry."
-- "Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941)"
