520    In his brief career -- he died at 32 -- Frank Norris 
       introduced fresh and sometimes shocking elements into 
       American fiction. Inspired by the naturalistic "new novel"
       developed in France by Zola and Flaubert, he adapted it to
       American settings, adding his own taste for exciting 
       action and a fascination with the emerging sciences of 
       economics and psychology. Vandover and the brute, set in a
       vividly described San Francisco, captures with harsh 
       realism the dissipation and decline of a fashionable 
       playboy into virtual bestiality. McTeague (source for 
       Erich von Stroheim's classic film Greed) was a radical 
       departure for its time in its frank treatment of sex, 
       domestic violence and pathological obsession, revealing 
       the dark underside of San Francisco's new middle class. 
       The octopus depicts the epic struggle of strong, ruthless 
       California ranchers with the railroad monopoly and its 
       political machine. Twenty-two essays address theories of 
       literature, the state of American fiction, and the social 
       responsibilities of the artist. The New York Times said, 
       "An opportunity to read, or re-read, in an authentic new 
       edition, the work of one of the trailblazers in American 
       literature.
