About this book
Grant M. Overton writes about books from his experience as a reviewer, literary editor and author, alongside his work in publishing. In a preface dated July 1922, he links the popularity of two recent novels to his belief that a large reading public wants good writing. He also openly acknowledges that his chapters promote Doran books and authors. The result is a set of literary essays that combines personal portraits, discussions of fiction and an insider's interest in how books reach their readers.
The opening chapter connects Hugh Walpole's writing with his childhood, travels and wartime service, then considers the cathedral and competing churchmen in one of his novels. Elsewhere, Overton turns to golf instruction, photographed bird life and Albert Payson Terhune's dog stories.
