You are correct in that I have never read a biography of Dreiser. I read Sister Carrie and Jennie Gerhardt as well as some of his short stories and was struck by the grim determinism in them--hence my comments on depression. I was aware that he seemed to have a predatory sex life but not to the extent that you describe. Thank you for the information. I shall get a biography for a fuller picture of the man. Do you have a suggestion?
