The Octopus: A Story of California
by Frank Norris, Kevin Starr
by Frank Norris, Kevin Starr
I read this book for school. My attention was captured in the beginning, but my focus wavered as I hit the middle. If the end had not been so profound an ending with Vanamee's connection to "Angele," I would not like this book. But I love how Norris ended the novel with the juxtaposition of Mrs. Hooven/Hilda starving and Presley at the dinner party. Great read. Provided a lot of different ways of thinking about good, evil, and humanity.
