Praise
“The estimable Library of America may revive [Tarkington’s] reputation with a hefty placemark in the canon. . . . The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams won Pulitzer Prizes, in 1919 and 1922, a rare double for a single author. One can see why readers devoured them, and . . . one can see why Scott Fitzgerald was influenced by his best sentences. . . .His satirical asides are perfectly modern.” — The Wall Street Journal
“Alice Adams is by far Tarkington’s most accomplished novel—worthy of being compared to Wharton’s The House of Mirth.” — The New Yorker
