The Three Black Pennys: A Novel by Joseph Hergeisheimer is about three generations of a family in Pennsylvania. The Pennys balance working in the iron business and taking care of their wives and children. Excerpt: "A twilight-like blue dust sifted into the shallow fold of the thickly wooded hills. It was early October, but a crisping frost had already stamped the maple trees with gold, the Spanish oaks were hung with patches of wine red, and the sumach was brilliant in the darkening underbrush. A pattern of wild geese, flying low and unconcerned above the hills, wavered against the serene, ashen evening. Howat Penny, standing in the comparative clearing of a road, decided that the shifting, regular flight would not come close enough for a shot."

Excerpt from Joseph Hergesheimer, the Man and His Books The salient fact about Joseph Hergesheimer is that he cannot be predicted. While his fellow American novelists - and the majority of his English fellows, too - run in orderly grooves, make social studies of labour, the church, or what not, Mr. Hergesheimer, intent only upon those passions and colours that appeal to the heart and that may be found everywhere, wanders where he lists. He refuses to impoverish the soil of any one field of human life by too continuous planting. And perhaps that fact is not unconnected with the fact that Mr. Hergesheimer is the only contemporary American novelist who is treated by English critics without thei...

Excerpt from Joseph Hergesheimer: An Essay in Interpretation So say they, speak they, and tell they the tale, in "literary gossip," that Joseph Hergesheimer "wrote" for a long while before an iota of his typing was transmuted into "author's proof." And the tale tells how for fourteen years he could find nowhere any magazine editor to whose present needs a Hergesheimer story was quite suited. It is my belief that in approaching Mr. Hergesheimer's work one should bear constantly in mind those fourteen years, for to me they appear, not uncuriously, to have shaped and colored every book he has thus far published. The actual merit of the writing done during that period of "unavailability" is - he...
