From Publishers Weekly: Those who know Norris (1870-1902) through his muckraking novels, The Pit and The Octopus, will be interested in these 14 stories culled by the editors from among more than 60 tales that he published in his brief life. They include strong evidence of Norris's naturalism and his sense of the primal, the healthy, the rural, as opposed to the corrupt, the urban, the effete. In "His Sister," Norris describes a magazine writer "knowing he'd be more apt to find undisguised human nature along the poorer unconventional thoroughfares." In the autobiographical "Dying Fires," he writes of an author: "he lived in the midst of-a life of passions that were often elemental in their simplicity and directness." The gold in "Judy's Service of Gold Plate" foreshadows the use of that element as a symbol for greed in McTeague. In such stories, one anticipates Norris's influence on John Steinbeck. Even in the more journalistic tales, precursors of Jim Thompson-esque noir, Norris's favored themes, particularly of injustice and class consciousness, persist. Three of the stories have never been collected in book form before, including the experimental "Man Proposes," written in five parts for a literary weekly. These somewhat mannered short pieces describe five couples who decide to get married: the ways they come to and act on their decisions reflect their varying social strata and cultural sensibilities.

La novela negra hunde sus raíces tanto en los relatos de misterio e investigación de EDGAR ALAN POE y SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, como en el naturalismo, que tiene su cumbre europea en ZOLA pero alcanzó su mayor desarrollo en la novela norteamericana de la primera mitad del siglo XX, que tuvo su deriva más popular en el hard boiled mistery, que va de HAMMET a ELLROY y de THEODORE DREISER a la ""GENERACIÓN PERDIDA"". FRANK NORRIS, como STEPHEN CRANE, O. HENRY, AMBROSE BIERCE..., está en el inicio de ambas tendencias. Los lectores que hoy se entregan a Avaricia conocen, seguramente, a Dashiell Hammett, a James M. Cain, a Horace McCoy o a David Goodis. Todos ellos son sus descendientes. Fue la historia de McTeague la que enamoró al cineasta Von Stroheim; la historia de un hombre corriente. Norris sostiene lo que después sería casi un lugar común en la novela negra: ese tipo gris, irrelevante, de segunda categoría, incapaz de matar una mosca según sus vecinos y familiares, es un asesino en lo más recóndito de su alma y sólo necesita un mínimo estímulo para mostrar lo peor de sí mismo. Lo mejor del personaje es esa nada aparente en la que se mueve habitualmente; lo peor está por verse. El bien y la sabiduría tienen límites; el mal y la ignorancia, no. NORRIS, como casi todos los autores americanos del siglo XX, es ante todo un pesimista en lo que se refiere a los seres humanos, y esta magnífica novela es una buena prueba de ello.
