What the Critics Said:
If you have a couple of dollars to buy a novel, buy this one! Upton Sinclair
"Emmett Lawler is the record of a soul's searching for beauty, and still firmly believing in the fabled pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow." - Los Angeles Times
If Tully were a Russian, read in translation, all the Professors would be hymning him. He has all of Gorkys capacity for making vivid the miseries of poor and helpless men, and in addition he has a humor that no Russian could conceivably have. - H.L. Mencken
