About this book
McTeague follows an unlicensed San Francisco dentist whose life unravels through greed, obsession, and a disputed lottery prize, in a naturalist portrait of degeneration. Readers interested in American literary naturalism, late-19th-century fiction, or Frank Norris's work would find it valuable.
