McTeague
McTeague | Frank Norris
6 posts | 11 read | 9 to read
Inspired by an actual crime sensationalized in the San Francisco press at the turn of the century, this riveting tale of avarice, degeneration, and death chronicles the demise of an ignorant charlatan and his avaricious wife. A compelling, realistic view of human nature at its most basic level.

1. Oh yes. Expendable by James Alan Gardner and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for sure.
2. Yes, when browsing in new book stores.
3. McTeague reminds me of essential human nature, stripped down.

A great book, but a bit gruesome for my own leisurely enjoyment.

A day late for #flawedcharacter. Practice dentistry without a license in 19th century San Francisco? Check. Get a bar named after you in the 21st century on Polk St. with a large gold tooth hanging out front? Double-check. Great novel!

Help Littens! For some reason when I try to enter a new book to post about it's not working!!! It just spins round and round with no results. Every thing else is working, but I can't add new book posts. Anyone know what's up?!

smccallum I'm having this problem, I could only do it by going into book pages from books already in my profile and then it said it couldn't post though it was 8y
Bette I was going to post too, but it just spins. I've logged in and out but still spinning. 😳 8y
the.bookish.valkyrie I've had the same problems exactly, I was only able to post by going through a book I'd already posted about. It also said my post wasn't working but then when I updated my feed there were duplicates I had to delete 😒 8y

Eyelit I'm having same prob. I looked at the Twitter page for litsy and it seems they are aware and working on the issue 8y
PrincessLibrarian Same! I've tried to post about 5 times now! Good to hear they're working on it. 8y
DebinHawaii Yep, same here it kept telling me error when I posted (it was a book I already posted about) and ended up posting 6 or 7 times--which I have deleted but won't let me tag anyone. 8y
WordWaller Yeah! Me too. So frustrating because I JUST got service and am able to post again after the long weekend. Oh well. More reading!! 8y

KVanRead Turns out I can't tag anyone in comments either 🙁 but thanks everyone for the feedback. Like @wordwaller said, more reading time! 8y
KVanRead Oh I guess I can tag! Thanks @zelma for the update 👍 8y
Zelma @KVanRead I'm having trouble tagging too. I tried tagging you my book and food post today, to no avail. You will see why. 😋 8y

Mr. KVR and I are grabbing a pre-anniversary dinner drink at McTeague's on Polk, the street that was home to that eponymous character. Any fans of this grim classic remember the gold tooth?

Ericmanciniwriter I just picked this up off my shelf recently - it was a favorite of mine from senior year English Lit. I forgot how dark the whole thing was 8y
KVanRead @Eamann Yes —super grim, but in a good way 😊 8y
