"First published 1937."

"The stories were slightly revised by Farrell for this edition. They were edited and some were expurgated by Michael Sadleir."--Cf. Bibl. of James T. Farrell's Writings.

"This collection of the stories of James T. Farrell has been made with his consent and collaboration. The majority of them have appeared in America where they constituted three separate books - Calico Shoes (1934); Guillotine Party (1935) and Can All This Grandeur Perish? (1937). The present volume contains in addition three stories not elsewhere published in book form. The grouping of the stories is peculiar to this collection, and has been carried out in order more forcefully to emphasise the aspects of contemporary American life which the author wishes to impress on the English speaking world."--Note.
