Menzioni
Henry Harrison was a novelist, journalist and social critic. Harrison was a Southern writer who wrote about his times covering such issues as feminism, child labor, and capitalism. Queen published in 1911 begins: "Queed begins: It was five of a November afternoon, crisp and sharp, and already running into dusk. Down the street came a girl and a dog, rather a small girl and quite a behemothian dog. If she had been a shade smaller, or he a shade more behemothian, the thing would have approached a parody on one's settled idea of a girl and a dog. She had enough height to save that, but it was the narrowest sort of squeak." Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

My wife noted while (re-)reading "Carney's House Party," from 1911, how a big topic was the book "Queed" that everyone was reading and talking about. Turned out 1) it was a real book and 2) freely available from Gutenberg.
It's a remarkable story - interesting, quirky - full of personal philosophy and politics. There is mystery, romance, heartbreak... all sorts of things - and while clearly set in its turn of the century time, much of it seem remarkably relevant - a great read. ( )
