Description
Something of a cult classic, McTeague was one of the founding works of unflinching realism and naturalism in American writing, from its first splash as a lurid literary sensation in its retelling of a true-life turn-of-the-century crime to its renewed popularity among modern readers. A brutish San Francisco dentist fantasizes about the wealth and success that have always eluded him. Then his wife wins the lottery and it seems that his dreams will finally come true. But McTeague does not reckon on human nature—his own, his wife's, and his best friend's—when they are tempted by the glitter of gold.
