Roar Lion Roar

Irvin Faust

4.9/5 (27651 ratings)

Description:Each of these remarkable stories has a fascination all its own. When they first appeared in various magazines they were greeted enthusiastically; and it is clear they introduce a new and provocative writer.What immediately sets Irvin Faust's stories apart is their fresh and often daring characterization. But they are also impressive in their variety of portrayal. Each is unmistakably the work of a distinctive writer who can penetrate the world of a Negro, a social worker, an athlete or an actor with authority and clear-eyed compassion. He also has that rare ability to uncover the humor in life even in a story that cuts sharply to the bone.The title story, for instance, concerns a Puerto Rican who works in the boiler room at Columbia University and begins to think of himself as a "Columbia man" - with a tragic commitment to the football team. "Miss Dorothy Thompson's American Eaglet" is the bittersweet tale of a city boy who goes to work on a farm because of a journalist's patriotic plea; and "Jake Bluffstein and Adolph Hitler" is the disturbing chronicle of a Jew who grows incontrollably anti-Semetic. And who will forget the boy in "Philco Baby" whose domineering companion is a transistor radio?A native New Yorker, Irvin Faust writes with intensity about the city and those who inhabit it. But if the atmosphere he creates and the people he writes about are perhaps unique and even special to one place, the stories speak to us all and will be remembered and talked about as such.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
