Dreiser’s foreword names the inevitabilities of our fate, love and hope, fear and death, and these stories follow them through ordinary American lives. A girl raised in squalid tenements seeks sanctuary; a man is haunted by a dead partner’s hand; a husband chafes against the chains of marriage; sandhogs dig a tunnel under the river in St. Columba and the River.
