| |  | | | From The Publisher A best-selling writer from Chicago, Edna Ferber had great popular appeal throughout the world. She published nine plays, two autobiographies, eleven short story collections, and thirteen novels, including Showboat, Giant, and So Big - winner of the Pulitzer Prize - the unforgettable story of Selina Peake Dejong, her marriage, widowhood, eventual success as a truck farmer, and of her son, Dirk. In So Big, Ferber simultaneously created a vivid picture of turn-of-the-century Chicago and dealt with the (still) contemporary issues of poverty, Americanization, family tensions, sexism, and success.

what beautifully written story     
-- A reviewer, a crime reporter for the L.A. Times, October 30, 2001
Also Recommended: not reallly related but A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway The Little Sister by Raymond Chandler A Morning for Flamingos by James Lee Burke
Beautifully Written... Not a happy ending.     
-- Caitie, a reader, January 28, 2002
| | | | The Reader's Catalog "To Miss Ferber's narrative and descriptive powers I genuflect in homage. Her vocabulary is rich and vital; she sees material objects with a penetrating and delightful vision; she has portrayed aspects of Chicago more vividly and with greater distinction than any writer I know." -- Burton Rascoe

"Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight."
