Chronicle Supposing Books Studs Lonigan (Studs Lonigan #1-3)

An unparalleled example of American naturalism, the Studs Lonigan trilogy follows the hopes and dissipations of its remarkable main character, a would-be "tough guy" and archetypal adolescent, born to Irish-American parents on Chicago's South Side, through the turbulent years of World War I, the Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression. The three novels--Young Lonigan, The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan, and Judgment Day--offer a vivid sense of the textures of real life: of the institutions of Catholicism, the poolroom and the dance marathon, romance and marriage, gangsterism and ethnic rivalry, and the slang of the street corner. Cited as an inspiration by writers as diverse as Kurt Vonnegut and Frank McCourt, Studs Lonigan stands as a masterpiece of social realism in the ranks of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy.

Weigh Up Of Books Studs Lonigan (Studs Lonigan #1-3)

Meet the Deplorables.Studs Lonigan is a racist, misogynist, willfully ignorant, aimlessly angry, irresponsible, untrustworthy, belligerent, self-centered, bully. He's the hero of this story, and is generally sympathetic. Don't get me wrong, he's a horrible human being... whether he's beating up littler kids in the first book, unconscionably spreading venereal disease in the second, or failing to take responsibility for the mess of his life in the third, this is someone you have to be a little

If you're looking to be thoroughly depressed by the actions (and inactions) of an Irish-American loser, then this is the book for you. Otherwise, you should wait until I publish my own autobiography. Thank you.

Studs Lonigan (Young Lonigan, The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan, Judgment Day) James T. Farrell (1932,1934,1935) #29May 16, 2009 This has to be the most offensive series of books that I have ever read. The racial insensitivity just kills me. Usually I get fed up with todays double standards of Racial Sensitivity, and those who know me know that I am not a big fan of Political Correctness in general, but come on. I realize that this was the early thirties, but how a book like Slaughterhouse Five

Broke my face. I suppose, partially owing to the nominal 'Studs,' i thought this was a slice of life depression novel about getting by or not. it's definitely about not getting by, but the Depression is not strictly speaking what this is about -- an old-fashioned, even for 1935, sex-obsessed, violent, crushingly sad and toweringly beautiful work of art. Makes Sister Carrie look like an issue of JANE Magazine. Ignore at your eternal peril.

Another triple header has put me a tad behind schedule, but I just gotta say that this one was out, and I mean way out, of the park. I must humbly acknowledge that I had never heard of James T. Farrell and what continually burst from my lips while reading this magnificent saga was genius. Farrells work is quite extensive and I will certainly be meeting up with him again after I complete this 100 book journey.The Studs Lonigan trilogy is comprised of Young Lonigan (1932), The Young Manhood of

Hmm . . . I'm not really sure what to make of this book. After completing it I find that it was a bit of a fatalistic diatribe. The railing against Negroes (called various racist epithets throughout the book), Jews (the same), women in general (mysogny), lesbians and homosexuals was blood-curdling to read. It would be my hope that Farrell was laying bare the rampant racism and sexism of his day with a higher social purpose but I can't be at all certain of that. With the life story of the main

A Tale Of Chicago StreetsJames T. Farrell's "Studs Lonigan" (1935) is a trilogy which tells the story of the short, unhappy, and brutal life of its title character on the streets of Chicago from 1914 to Lonigan's death at the age of 30 in 1930. The trilogy consists of three separate novels. The first and shortest part of the trilogy, "Young Lonigan" begins with Lonigan's graduation from a Catholic school in the eighth grade. The novel describes the young man's first sexual experience, his
