McTeague: A Story of San Francisco (Modern Library Classics)
Norris writes about appetite—for money, for status, for each other—with the unforgiving eye of a naturalist studying specimens. McTeague's San Francisco becomes a laboratory for American greed, where characters are crushed by forces they can't control or understand. This finds the reader who wants literature that doesn't flinch, who appreciates tragedy that feels both inevitable and completely avoidable. The prose has the weight of machinery grinding people down. Not a comfort read, but essential for understanding how society devours its own.
