The genius (1915) Novel by Theodore Dreiser

The "Genius" is a semi-autobiographical novel by Theodore Dreiser, first published in 1915. The story concerns Eugene Witla, a talented painter of strong sexual desires who grapples with his commitment to his art and the force of his erotic needs.

The novel is divided into three sections: "Youth," "Struggle," and "Revolt." In Book I, Eugene Witla (like Sister Carrie, in Dreiser's earlier novel) escapes the confines of the small town in Illinois where he has been raised to make his way in Chicago.

Review by Michael Beal

The Genius is a tremendous, multifaceted novel, depicting urban Chicago and New York in the industrial boom, and the trials and travails of a precocious artist prone to weaknesses in his personal romantic life. With very few characters, and a great breadth of plot time, Dreiser crafts events that touch the reader and are memorable, rendered meaningful by their isolation.
