OverviewAlthough started in 1904, it was only published posthumously in 1983.[1] The book is an autobiographical account of a three-year struggle with neurasthenia[1] in the aftermath of Sister Carrie 's financial failure.[2] After being constantly turned down for publications while living in Brooklyn, Dreiser finds a job as a manual worker on a railroad.[2] Eventually, his brother Paul Dresser sends him to a health resort, leading to his replenished morale.[2] References1. ^1 Keith Newlin, A Theodore Dreiser Encyclopedia, Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 2003, p. 8 [https://books.google.com/books?id=Qqsc3zwrDtIC&pg=PA11] {{Dreiser}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Amateur Laborer}}{{US-bio-book-stub}}2. ^1 2 E.L.
