Overview
In her heyday, between 1910 and the mid-1930s, Fannie Hurst was the most popular writer in America. Twenty-nine films were based on her novels and short stories. Her fiction was not only beloved by readers, but also acclaimed by reviewers and regularly included in Best American Short Stories. And yet not one of her books remains in print.
The publication of this selection of Fannie Hurstās best short stories is sure to propel a long-overdue revival and reassessment of Hurstās work. No reader of these thirty stories, spanning the years 1912 to 1935, can fail to recognize Hurstās depth, intelligence, and artistry as a writer. Hurst was the one of the premier literary chroniclers of poor and working-class urban life in early 20th-century America, especially the vibrant life of Jewish immigrant communities. She was also a pioneer in writing about the lives of working women, from maids to secretaries to garment workers, from prostitutes to artists. And she wove these threads into captivating, deeply human stories that capture her charactersā struggles, triumphs, conflicts, and loves.
