Twas the shrunken soul of the traitor That whined in a coign of the dark; And the fiends were aroused from slumber, When Cerberus began to bark. "Methought that I spoke" said Julian, Who betrayed God's own demesne; "And I," said the ghost of Caesar, "Heard the dying groans of the slain." ... Read more

Product Description
1923. American poet and novelist who practiced law for nearly thirty years. Spoon River Anthology is the book that made his reputation and is regarded as one of the most popular and widely known works in all of American literature. His novel Skeeters Kirby begins: As I wrote about in Mitch Miller the time went on. The Christmas came and was over. And, of course, Mitch didn't come back. I couldn't find him very well in dreams; and it did seem if Mitch was in heaven, or sommers, he was prevented from speakin' or sendin' any word or appearin' to me. And everything wen on; and it was so cruel that nothin' more could be done about Mitch bein' dead. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. ... Read more

Please note that I am only reviewing the novel "Skeeters Kirby", not the entire 56 volume set (I can't imagine).
Ultimately, an unsatisfying book, and not particularly exciting to read either.There's a flatness here, a distancing, as if the author were not quite ready to give of himself.Too many episodes, scenes, characters, are merely fleshed out, cut and dried, with no substance, vigor, or life.Even the title character seems to have no real emotions.Second part of a trilogy.I think this is supposed to be somewhat autobiographical.Set in southern Illinois and Chicago from 1890-1911.The first part is done in a kind of Tom Sawyerish speech, extremely irritating to read.But when he grows out of it, it's still heavy, turgid, flat.Characters come in and go out with dizzying rapidity.However, it is quite obvious that sexual mores were really no different then from now.Even women were quite free. ...
