W: Hi, Ed. Looks like you were here early.
M: Yeah. Class doesn’t start for ten more minutes, so I read the novel that is carried in my bag.
W: What is it?
M: It is called Sister Carrie. (12)It is about a woman named Carrie who leaves her country home to earn a living in Chicago and New York.
W: Oh, I’ve studied Theodore Dreiser. (13) His work is a little depressing, but I like him, even though his characters always get in trouble. He treats them with sympathy. How do you like Sister Carrie?
M: It’s not what I expected. On the back cover it says the book created a lot of controversies when it was first published in 1900. It even says the publisher withdrew it from the market after only 500 copies were sold. But I don’t see why.
W: Well. The novel might not be shocking by our standards but it sure created a stir then. Think about what Carrie does. She leaves her country home and gets caught up in some personal scandals in the city. (14) Now most other authors of that time would have punished the character to provide a moral lesson, but Dreiser has Carrie become a successful actress at the end.
M: Wow, that puts the story in a different perspective. I bet Dreiser must have been discouraged when the publisher took it off the market. W: He sure was. He stopped writing fiction for a while. M: Well, how did the book become recognized?
W: Some British reviewers praised the novel and then another publisher released it in 1907.(15) Eventually people recognized the novel for its realism and Dreiser went on to write other successful works.
12. What do we learn about the main character Carrie in Sister Carrie?
13. What does the woman think about the writer Theodore Dreiser?

15. What factor made the book receive recognition?
