The young manhood of Studs Lonigan
James T. Farrell (Author), Vanguard Press (Publisher)
The scene is Chicago in a middle-class neighborhood that is being invaded by "foreigners." The poolroom, the public park, the football field, and, later, the disorderly resort and the cheap night-club are the focal points of interest for Studs Lonigan. Home is merely a place to sleep. Church is threatened with a loss of its hold upon him, though he does go, irregularly, to confession....And he cannot forget Lucy, his boyhood sweetheart. Some day, he knows, he will cut himself off from his present associations and marry a good modest girl.--Provided by publisher
