A tremendous bestseller when it was published in 1925, "An American Tragedy" is the culmination of Theodore Dreiser's elementally powerful fictional art. Taking as his point of departure a notorious murder case of 1910, Dreiser immersed himself in the social background of the crime to produce a book that is both a remarkable work of reportage and a monumental study of character. Few novels have undertaken to track so relentlessly the process by which an ordinary young man becomes capable of committing a ruthless murder, and the further process by which social and political forces come into play after his arrest. In Clyde Griffiths, the impoverished, restless offspring of a family of street preachers, Dreiser created an unforgettable portrait of a man whose circumstances and dreams of self-betterment conspire to pull him toward an act of unforgivable violence. Around Clyde, Dreiser builds an extraordinarily detailed fictional portrait of early twentieth-century America, its religious and sexual hypocrisies, its economic pressures, its political corruption. The sheer prophetic amplitude of his bitter truth-telling, in idiosyncratic prose of uncanny expressive power, continues to mark Dreiser as a crucially important American writer. "An American Tragedy," the great achievement of his later years, is a work of mythic force, at once brutal and heartbreaking.

读后感
一点题外话，1873年，美国。 在此之前，各种杂志小报乐此不疲地利用着凶杀、艳情一类的噱头吸引着普遍低级趣味的读者。当时的三版当然不如今天《太阳报》(“The Sun”)的一样活生色香玉体横陈。他们只有诸如大亨的晚宴上裸体舞女坐在一只装满香槟酒的浴盆里，房地产富商和他的...
评分如果说西奥多德莱赛是一个杰出的小说家，那未免有些言过其实。看《嘉莉妹妹》的时候大概刚上初中，所以至今除了几个主人公的名字，再也想不起其他信息了。《美国悲剧》则是因为赛珍珠对这本书的大力推崇，所以也就找来一看。但是我只能说，这本书真的很——awkward。 ...

评分又是一个睡不着的高三夜晚，突然想起了三年的一个晚上在读这本书，这本偶然购得的书，没想到在困顿迷茫的夜里，还能唤起我最深层的记忆。不想谈里面的人物的塑造了，只想回忆一下它对我阅读之旅的影响。 陀氏的书之前，没有一本书能让我如此深入的去读，记得这本70万字的书几乎...
