As poet Theodore Roethke said, "Place is important." For James Farrell, his Chicago boyhood and neighborhood roots his characters, Studs Lonigan and Danny O'Neill, in such a way that they have become synonymous with the South Side of Chicago. Branch (American literature, Miami U.) makes that place come alive again with photographs and a careful biography of Farrell's life there as it reappears in his work. Drawing its information from unpublished letters and writings, this companion to Farrell's work is a vivid and interesting introduction to the writer. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
