PREFACE

T h i s p r e f a c e c o n s t i t u t e s an act of gratitude. P r o f e s s o r E d g a r M. B r a n c h ' s bibliography of my writings h a s been compiled with energy, p a t i e n c e , i n t e l l i g e n c e , and e n t h u s i a s m . It w a s a scholarly t a s k which he performed at some p e r s o n a l s a c r i f i c e . T h e reader will readily r e c o g n i z e how d i f f i c u l t Dr. B r a n c h ' s work w a s . Not only have I written voluminously, but many of my incidental a r t i c l e s , book r e v i e w s , and public l e t t e r s have been printed in o b s c u r e publ i c a t i o n s both here and abroad. P r o f e s s o r Branch spent hours in libraries and corresponded e x t e n s i v e l y in order to get a c c u r a t e d a t a . The major part of h i s r e s e a r c h w a s conducted before he and I b e c a m e acquainted. He i s the kind of s c h o l a r who b e l i e v e s in doing h i s own r e s e a r c h , and h i s concern for a c c u r a c y i s a p a s s i o n . T h e f a c t that P r o f e s s o r Branch i s the man who compiled t h i s bibliography t o u c h e s me singularly. And it c o n s t i t u t e s a dramatic epis o d e in my career a s a writer. Dr. Branch i s a younger man than I, but he i s another product of the South S i d e of C h i c a g o . He w a s born on 66th P l a c e near Dorchester Avenue, only a few b l o c k s from S t . Cyril High School, now Mount Carmel, which I attended from 1919 to 1923. H i s family moved to the 6800 block on C o n s t a n c e e a s t of Stony Island, one of the neighborhoods which s e r v e s a s a l o c a l e for some of my C h i c a g o s t o r i e s and n o v e l s . He attended the P a r k s i d e grammar s c h o o l , one which I remember. A high school friend of mine, G i l e s McVey, now a b u s i n e s s m a n in E l g i n , I l l i n o i s , lived near t h i s school and once danced the F r i s c o in the P a r k s i d e auditorium. Dr. Branch w a s then a boy attending that s c h o o l . He went to the s a m e b e a c h e s a s I did; we p l a y e d t e n n i s at the s a m e tennis courts in J a c k s o n Park. He knew the same s t r e e t s and neighborhoods a s I did when I w a s a high school student. From 1926 to 1930, he attended University High School on the Midway. During those s a m e y e a r s , I was either a student at the University of C h i c a g o , or e l s e a familiar figure on c a m p u s , haunting i t s libraries and finding rooms in i t s buildings where I could work on the Studs Lonigan manuscript and on my early s t o r i e s . vii

P r o f e s s o r B r a n c h ' s father was a publisher, president of the Midland P r e s s in Chicago. And he received a fine training from high school onward. In 1930, he entered B e l o i t C o l l e g e in B e l o i t , Wisconsin, and graduated from that institution in 1934. But he spent one year in London on a B e l o i t College fellowship. He intended to study English literature but under the influence of two t e a c h e r s , he switched to philosophy, which became his undergraduate major at B e l o i t . He did a y e a r ' s graduate work in philosophy at Brown University and then studied American literature for h i s M.A. at the University of Chicago. He taught part-time at the University of Iowa while he was working for his P h . D . Marrying a girl he had met in college, he needed to earn money, and traveled quite e x t e n s i v e l y in the Middle West and the West a s a book s a l e s m a n . In 1941, he accepted a teaching post at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and has remained on the faculty of that university ever s i n c e . He i s at present a member of the English Department and i s the author of The Literary Apprenticeship of Mark Twain. I first became acquainted with Dr. Branch in 1955. I received a letter from him in which he informed me that he was engaged in a c r i t i c a l study of my writings. He wanted to put questions to me, to check on information, and to gather material which might otherwise b e unavailable to him. At Christmas time in 1955, he and I were both in Chicago. He visited me with Mrs. Branch and we had our first talk. I could only be impressed by the quantity of information he had already dug up, including bibliographical data. Clearly he was a sincere, mature, intelligent, and energetic man of independent judgment. I agreed to make material from my papers available to him, but, needless to say, any a s s i s t a n c e of this kind was to have no influence on any judgments he would make of my work or myself. T h i s bibliography grew out of the critical study in which P r o f e s sor Branch i s now engaged. As he accumulated data, he saw the need for a bibliography. He went through my papers, now deposited in the Library of the University of Pennsylvania, and was able further to add to the bibliographical data he had acquired e l s e w h e r e . My memory i s fairly good, and he could check with me on many items. But my cooperation came only after he had done the bulk of h i s work independently. There are few, if any, omissions of information concerning the original publication of almost everything I have ever published under my own signature. Also, there are some unsigned items and, viii

to my knowledge, a complete listing of all I have written under the pseudonym of Jonathan T i t u l e s c u Fogarty. In addition, P r o f e s s o r Branch traced many of the interviews which I have given here and abroad; he h a s included here a s e l e c t i o n of the more significant ones. T o list them all would involve an almost impossible t a s k , and there are some, e s p e c i a l l y those I have given abroad, which I have never s e e n . I have a l s o written some hundreds of unsigned editorials. T h e s e appeared in numerous newspapers, some of which are unknown to me. Tracking down and listing every one of t h e s e would be a most timeconsuming job, a s well a s a very expensive one. Professor Branch has wisely omitted listing these, editorials. But data on writings and.letters of mine in the bulletins of committees on which I served, political campaign s p e e c h e s in mimeographed or manuscript form, and various remote items have been l i s t e d . And almost every item listed here is or will be among my papers deposited at the University of P e n n s y l v a n i a . What i s l i s t e d here c o n s t i t u t e s my l i f e ' s work. I can only be most grateful that it h a s been deemed worthy of being compiled in this bibliography. JAMES T. FARRELL May 21, 1958 New York City

FOREWORD

" I need an audience —so look o u t ! " With these words, written thirty years ago to his teacher, James Weber ( " T e d d y " ) Linn of the University of Chicago, James Farrell reaffirmed a decision made originally in the spring of 1927: to write, come what may. To Farrell writing was always to be a way of understanding himself and his origins. But especially in his early years it was intimately part of a mounting rejection of his past, yet no l e s s a way of mastering the future and thereby proving himself to that past, paradoxically hugged so c l o s e in memory. His writing was, in fact, an expression of near-compulsive needs, perhaps one good reason his 1927 decision was not abandoned during later years of demanding study and struggle. But if 1927 brought the avowal of his " c a l l , " 1929 saw him confirmed in his chosen profession. For in 1929, working with an intensity that now seems to have hammered out his characteristic manner almost overnight, Farrell published his first magazine fiction and significant criticism. He had entered a period of furious creativity. Ever since, he has written with the constancy of one who knows his long-run intentions. His published output has been larger than is commonly supposed. This bibliography is designed as an initial guide to Farrell's voluminous published writings, 1921—1957. 1 While making no claim to completeness, I have tried to include Farrell's publications from ' F a r r e l l ' s first appearance in print came in late July or early August, 1915: a letter written at the urging of his uncle Thomas Daly and enclosing a small sum of money to aid the families of those lost in the Eastland disaster, July 24, 1915, on the Chicago River. Farrell believes this letter to have been either in the Chicago Journal or in the Chicago Evening Post, but I have not located it. Nor have I found F a r r e l l ' s early article published in the service station handbook of the Sinclair Oil Company in the fall of 1925. T h i s article, which won third prize in a contest open to Sinclair servi c e station attendants, was on the best way to s e l l coupon books to customers.

the time of h i s high school writings in the 1921 St. Cyril Oriflamme (on s u b j e c t s , among others, no l e s s appropriate than " D a n n y ' s U n c l e " and b a s e b a l l ) to h i s l a s t appearance of 1957 —with one major e x c e p t i o n . 2 But I have not tried to give complete bibliographic a l d e s c r i p t i o n s and h i s t o r i e s of F a r r e l l ' s books, the contents of which, in one edition or another, are readily a v a i l a b l e for study. Rather my purpose has been to direct attention to hundreds of l e s s e a s i l y found writings, and to offer some guidance through what i s no l e s s than a dense, and at first bewildering, forest of publications. If F a r r e l l ' s s t o r i e s and e s s a y s that appeared for the first time in h i s books of c o l l e c t e d writings are counted in the total, and if e x c e r p t s from h i s novels and foreign editions of h i s books are excluded, this l i s t c o n t a i n s 1,107 entries representing first p u b l i c a t i o n s . T h e s e appeared in 70 books, 136 p e r i o d i c a l s , 72 newspapers, and 18 pamphlets, with proportional i n c r e a s e s down the line if reprints are included. More significant than the number of o u t l e t s , perhaps, i s the variety. What may be said of a writer who ranges between The Debunker and The Atlantic Monthly, Blues and The General Magazine and Historical Chronicle, The Militant and Sports Illustrated, the Chicago Tribune and Labor's Daily, Readies for Bob Brown's Machine and ]ohn Dewey: Philosopher of Science and Freedom, College Humor and The Southern Review, Publisher's Weekly and Dance Observer, The Humanist and Fight Against War and Fascism, College English and New World Writing, The International Journal of Ethics and Swank, to name but a few? Surely here i s e v i d e n c e of F a r r e l l ' s shifting fortunes with editor, c r i t i c , and reader. Here too i s more than a hint of a surprising c a t h o l i c i t y , of a far-ranging cons c i o u s n e s s directly— at times f i e r c e l y — engaged with the life of h i s J In S e p t e m b e r , 1956, short unsigned e d i t o r i a l s written by F a r r e l l and nationally s y n d i c a t e d by the Alburn B u r e a u of M i n n e a p o l i s began to appear in small-town n e w s p a p e r s . Hundreds of t h e s e have been p u b l i s h e d , a s i n g l e one often many t i m e s over. T o t a l printings now probably number into the t h o u s a n d s . Although incomplete l i s t s of t h e s e printings are a v a i l a b l e , the t a s k confronting either the bibliographer or the c o l l e c t o r of F a r r e l l ' s publ i s h e d e d i t o r i a l s i s formidable if c o m p l e t e n e s s i s d e s i r e d . Furthermore, the i n t e r e s t e d student will find f i l e s of the Alburn B u r e a u ' s mimeographed e d i t o r i a l s h e e t s , including a l l F a r r e l l ' s e d i t o r i a l s whether p u b l i s h e d or n o t , a t the University of P e n n s y l v a n i a , and most of them a t the University of K e n tucky. It h a s seemed prudent, therefore, to omit this group of F a r r e l l ' s writings from the bibliography. It should be noted that F a r r e l l ' s n e w s p a p e r column, a l s o distributed by the Alburn B u r e a u , h a s been included.

craft and his times. Here are clues to his developing ideas and to his changing relationships with contemporaries. Twenty-five years of his political thinking, for example, lead us from The New Masses to The Stevenson Bandwagon, past such significant mileposts as Partisan Review, The Nation, The New International, The Socialist Appeal, The Socialist Call, The New Leader, and The New Republic. Finally, here are opportunities to gain insight into his fiction. When was it written and how did it grow? From what matrix of character-and-experience did it come? All entries in the bibliography except those in the appendices fall into two sections: (I) "Imaginative Literature," including the novels, the short stories, one poem, and one play, and (II) "Other Prose Writings," including e s s a y s and articles, book reviews, news reports, letters, introductions, newspaper columns, signed statements, group " m a n i f e s t o e s , " etc. 3 This twofold division avoids distributing and thus submerging the much smaller former group, chiefly prose fiction, in the latter. The arrangement of entries within each division i s chronological by date of publication. Chronological listing has an obvious value in the study of Farr e l l ' s writing, but an alphabetical listing would be largely pointless for two reasons. F i r s t , the works of fiction entered in Section I, well known by their titles, are not so numerous in any given year that the location of a title listed chronologically i s thereby made difficult. But the great majority of writings entered in Section II are not sufficiently well known by their titles, which are usually editors' captions, to permit either significant arrangement or easy location by alphabetized listing. Secondly, entries for all first editions of Farrell's collected stories and e s s a y s include cross-references to earlier publication of the collected piece if that occurred." This practice gives ready a c c e s s to the primary publishing information for that large group of writings, well known by title, that Farrell has selected for reprinting. JMy Baseball Diary (1957), F a r r e l l ' s collection of b a s e b a l l e s s a y s and s i * brief excerpts from four of his novels, i s listed in Section Π.

'American first editions of F a r r e l l ' s collected stories and e s s a y s have been published by The Vanguard P r e s s except for two 1957 books: A Dangerous Woman and Other Stories (New York: T h e New American Library of World Literature) and My Baseball Diary (New York: T h e A. S. Barnes Company). All American first editions of F a r r e l l ' s novels have been Vanguard P r e s s publications.

A few words about certain p r o c e d u r e s u s e d in Section II are in order. All e n t r i e s for unsigned p i e c e s are l i s t e d on the authority of F a r r e l l ' s claim to a u t h o r s h i p . Most of t h e s e are book r e v i e w s , but a few a r e the high school s p o r t s w r i t e u p s in the St. Cyril Orijlamme t h a t he felt only r e a s o n a b l y sure were h i s . Group l e t t e r s and group s t a t e m e n t s signed by Farrell but not written by him are e n t e r e d , a s are a few other p i e c e s attributed to him but in reality merely rev i s e d by him. Some mimeographed s p e e c h e s and r e c o r d s of testimony w h o s e original wide distribution q u a l i f i e s them, p e r h a p s , a s publ i s h e d matter are l i s t e d , a s well a s a few mimeographed p r e s s rel e a s e s . Also included are some i n t e r v i e w s of e x c e p t i o n a l i n t e r e s t , p a r t i c u l a r l y if they quote F a r r e l l at length. A few n e w s a r t i c l e s written by o t h e r s are l i s t e d when they incorporate a l e t t e r or a subs t a n t i a l s t a t e m e n t . But s c o r e s of n e w s a r t i c l e s and i n t e r v i e w s of l e s s e r i n t e r e s t are omitted, even though they contain direct but brief q u o t a t i o n s , or g e n e r a l i z e d summaries of F a r r e l l ' s opinions and s p e e c h e s , or reports of p e t i t i o n s he h a s signed, or a n e c d o t e s a t t r i b u t e d to him. When F a r r e l l ' s writings are u n s i g n e d or only i n i t i a l e d , the fact i s n o t e d . L e t t e r s , book r e v i e w s , i n t r o d u c t i o n s , c o n t r i b u t i o n s to sympos i u m s , n e w s reports, and various s p e c i a l c a s e s are l a b e l e d for what they a r e . T h e e n t r i e s for F a r r e l l ' s many book r e v i e w s are followed by t h e author and t i t l e of the book reviewed, with additional ident i f y i n g information when n e e d e d . It may be a s s u m e d that an u n l a b e l e d entry in Section II i s an a r t i c l e or an e s s a y , although the d i s t i n c t i o n b e t w e e n t h e s e , book r e v i e w s , l e t t e r s , and writings o t h e r w i s e c l a s s i f i e d , i s often t e n u o u s or purely formal. Brief d e s c r i p t i o n s of content o f t e n accompany the e n t r i e s for o b s c u r e or u n c o l l e c t e d p i e c e s of writing, but whenever p o s s i b l e I h a v e relied upon the t i t l e to indicate content. T h e reprinting of a s e p a r a t e l y p u b l i s h e d short story or e s s a y in a f i r s t edition of F a r r e l l ' s c o l l e c t e d writings i s i n d i c a t e d following t h e entry for first p u b l i c a t i o n , for t h e s e e d i t i o n s or reprint e d i t i o n s b a s e d upon them are s t i l l most g e n e r a l l y a v a i l a b l e . T h e r e a p p e a r a n c e of a s e p a r a t e l y p u b l i s h e d p i e c e in English e d i t i o n s of F a r r e l l ' s c o l l e c t e d writings i s not i n d i c a t e d , u n l e s s it i s t h e s o l e or f i r s t reprinting of that p i e c e , an infrequent e v e n t . Nor h a s an attempt been made to l i s t every a p p e a r a n c e of a story and an o c c a s i o n a l e s s a y in c o l l e g e t e x t s and popular a n t h o l o g i e s . N e v e r t h e l e s s t h e majority of reprintings in a n t h o l o g i e s are l i s t e d under the e n t r i e s xiv

for first publication. Those included are judged to be especially significant for either time or place of appearance, for indication of Farrell's place in popular or critical estimation, or for clarification of his writing practices. It should be remembered that successive printings by Farrell of a given piece, particularly of his stories or parts of novels in progress, customarily show considerable revision and frequently major reworking. The extent of revision is indicated only when Farrell has commented upon it. Similarly, for Farrell's novels and for the volumes of collected writings, hardcover reprint editions such as the nine books issued by The World Publishing Company or the five by The Sun Dial Press are not listed. Nor are the numerous paperback reprints included, whether complete editions or selections, except when Farrell has revised the text, as in the Avon Gas-House McGinty.' Farrell's new introductions for some of these editions, however, are listed in Section II. Also foreign first editions of Farrell's books, excluding reprints of American editions distributed by Canadian agents, may be found in Appendix A. These have been brought together to suggest the range of acquaintance with Farrell's writings in other nations. Two other features call for brief mention. Appendix Β lists tape recordings of Farrell's speeches, all unpublished. Duplicates of most of the original tapes, the latter in Farrell's possession, are deposited in the Miami University Library, Oxford, Ohio. Secondly, the bibliography records the dates of writing and revision of the short stories: information supplied by their author. These dates follow the sub-titles under the entry for the appropriate volume of collected stories or, for the thirteen uncollected stories beginning with " S l o b , " they follow the individual entries. I have gathered material for this bibliography at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio), the University of Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Public Library, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, the Newberry Library, the Chicago Public Library, the Mount Carmel High School Library, the New York Public Library, the Free Library of Philadelphia, and The Vanguard Press. Also I have used the Farrell collections at the University of Kentucky, the Milwaukee Public Library, and, primarily, the University of Pennsylvania, ' T h i s restriction notably excludes seventeen volumes published by T h e New American Library of World Literature between 1946 and 1956, and five by T h e Avon Publishing Company in the 1 9 4 0 ' s . XV

where the great and constantly growing deposit of Farrell papers i s now being catalogued and boxed. In addition, I have drawn upon the resources of many other libraries not visited in person, through the help of r e l a t i v e s , friends, and librarians. I wish to thank all those who contributed so heavily to this bibliography in various w a y s . In 1954 Miss Ethel A. Hathaway, Mrs. Marie Stokes, and Mr. Herbert Erbaugh helped me begin the compilation. More recently Mr. James Campbell's persevering and goodnatured efforts through three semesters have been invaluable. Mr. Charles Irvin and Mrs. Mary Ann Young of the Miami University Library have willingly helped me obtain material. Mr. Leland Dutton, Director of the Libraries at Miami, h a s a s s i s t e d and guided me with h i s customary thoroughness and good grace. I wish to thank e s p e c i a l l y Mr. Edgar W. King, that unique lover of books and for many y e a r s Director of the Libraries at Miami, who did so much so unobtrusively to further my work. I am grateful to Professor Sculley Bradley, Mrs. Neda M. Westlake, Mr. Lyman W. R i l e y , and Mrs. Jean F. Jones, all of whom encouraged my study at the University of Pennsylvania and guided me through the complexities of the Farrell collection there. Miss Evelyn Shrifte and Mr. J a m e s Henle of The Vanguard P r e s s , and indeed the entire office staff, were unfailingly kind and helpful while I worked with them, and Mr. Henle supplied me with s p e c i a l bibliographical information from h i s collection of Farrelliana. At the University of Chicago Mr. Robert Rosenthal gave me the benefit of his expert advice and help, and Mr. S. K. Miner and Mrs. John Postel did a great deal to aid me in collecting material for microfilming. Mr. J.W. Reginald Scurr and Reverend Thomas L. Atkinson of the Newspaper Service at the Chicago Public Library helped me faithfully, and Mr. J e n s Nyholm and Mr. F e l i x Pollak of the Northwestern University Library personally helped me find some writings very hard to locate. Miss Jacqueline Bull of the University of Kentucky Library and Mr. Peter J . McCormick of the Milwaukee Public Library greatly facilitated my use of the Farrell collections under their care. Mrs. Madeline J . Straight of University College, University of Chicago, and Mr. J a m e s F. Bertch of Duke University promptly forwarded some tapes to me. My gratitude also goes to Father Rudolph, librarian at Mount Carmel High School, Chicago, for supplying me with various useful publications.
