Hardcover. Condición: Very Good-. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy with only moderate shelfwear, some fading to spine cloth, minor fraying at top of spine, lower tips lightly bumped with very slight exposure of boards, internally nice and clean]. Novel about "a girl press agent who knew what she wanted and got it." Catharine Brody was a newspaper and magazine writer before directing her efforts to fiction in the 1920s. She began modestly, with a digest-sized pulp novel called "Why Girls Go Back Home" (also published serially), but really got going in the late 1920s with "Babe Evanson," a tale of a New York office-girl; "West of Fifth" was her next book, and obviously drew on her journalistic experience. After the Depression hit, she turned out a couple of quasi-proletarian novels -- "Nobody Starves" (centered around a couple trying to make a go of it as factory workers in Detroit) and "Cash Item" (about the repercussions of a bank failure) -- but although both were well-received, she appears to have then more or less dropped off the literary map. I've run down references to a couple of syndicated newspaper short stories circa 1936, a couple of articles in the slicks in 1938, and a "vignette" in a 1944 issue of Liberty, and that's it; no obituary has yet turned up, nor any significant biographical information (apart from the fact that she was born in Latvia). What became of her, I wonder.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'West of Fifth' is a compelling work of realistic fiction by Catharine Brody, capturing the vibrant yet often harsh realities of life in New York City during the transition from the Roaring Twenties to the early years of the Great Depression. Set against the backdrop of the city's bustling streets and shifting social strata, the novel explores the complexities of urban existence for those navigating the neighborhoods located west of the iconic Fifth Avenue.Through vivid prose and keen social observation, Brody examines the aspirations, struggles, and daily routines of characters striving to find their place in a rapidly changing world. The narrative touches upon themes of ambition, economic pressure, and the personal sacrifices demanded by a metropolis that never sleeps. As a significant example of 1930s social realism, 'West of Fifth' offers a poignant look at the intersection of private lives and public expectations in one of the world's most dynamic cities.This work remains a valuable literary portrait of New York, reflecting the author's background in journalism and her ability to document the human condition with both grit and empathy. Readers interested in early twentieth-century American literature and social history will find 'West of Fifth' an evocative and insightful journey through a bygone era of Manhattan life.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
