Arthur's Classic Novels Golosh Street And Its People A SMALL lane, the name of which I have forgotten, or do not choose to remember, slants suddenly off from Chatham Street, ( before that headlong thoroughfare reaches into the Park, ) and retreats suddenly down towards the East River, as if it were disgusted with the smell of old clothes, and had determined to wash itself clean. This excellent intention it has, however, evidently contributed towards the making of that imaginary pavement mentioned in the old adage; for it is still emphatically a dirty street. It has never been able to shake off the Hebraic taint of filth which it inherits from the ancestral thoroughfare. It is slushy and greasy, as if it were twin brother of the Roman Ghetto. I like a dirty slum; not because I am naturally unclean, I have not a drop of Neapolitan blood in my veins, but because I generally find a certain sediment of philosophy precipitated in its gutters. A clean street is terribly prosaic. There is no food for thought in carefully swept pavements, barren kennels, and vulgarly spotless houses. But when I go down a street which has been left so long to itself that it has acquired a distinct outward character, I find plenty to think about. The scraps of sodden letters lying in the ash-barrel have their meaning: desperate appeals, perhaps, from Tom, the baker's assistant, to Amelia, the daughter of the dry-goods retailer, who is always selling at a sacrifice in consequence of the late fire. That may be Tom himself who is now passing me in a white apron, and I look up at the windows of the house (

    Extractions: C alled "a Poe in the minor mode" and "the preeminent writer of supernatural stories of his time," Fitz-James O'Brien is best remembered for two or three widely anthologized stories that border on science fiction and a poem that classifies as supernatural. Of his life in Ireland and England very little is known. The available facts are so sketchy they do not include the names of his parents, while the tributes of his later friends contain statements that are sometimes contradictory. It has been established that Fitz-James O'Brien was born in County Limerick, Ireland on December 31, 1828. It is known is that he was an only child. His father was a lawyer or county coroner or somehow both and died when Fitz was about twelve. Whatever the father's occupation, he was successful, leaving a patrimony said to have been £8,000. Fitz's mother, described as "a lady of remarkable beauty," did not remarry for "a considerable time" though "when O'Brien was still a lad." Fitz was educated at Trinity College, Dublin though "not in any profession." After college, around 1849, he went to London, where in the space of two and one half years he managed two remarkable achievements. First, he "squandered" his entire inheritance. But he was not idle, for he also published "a large number of poems, stories, and articles" in Irish, Scottish, and English periodicals. Thus O'Brien's Bohemian reputation was forecast; and thus illustrated the devil-may-care attitude by which he lived and died.

    Extractions: In a short life of 33 years, Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862) established himself as a competent and imaginative writer, and was in fact something of an innovator in the frenetic and economically perilous literary life of his day. Some have placed him as the best American writer of short stories between Poe (1809 -1849) and Bret Harte (1836-1902), and he was certainly admired by his literary colleagues. His work, at its best, stands for itself. The Diamond Lens could be used as a texbook example of the application of Poe's Philosophy of Composition , with which O'Brien would have had to be familiar: a carefully-crafted tone, an economical style in which few superfluities of language can be detected, and a slow accelerando of pace to a denouement which is inevitable from the beginning, yet still riveting. Crucial to the success of the story is the blending of hard fact with extreme fantasy, the juxtaposition of technology and mysticism, a convincing and "scientific" setting against which is played an unworldly romance. The story was well received by public and critics, and established O'Brien as a lion of literary New York. It is important to remember that the impact on fiction-writing and public taste of Poe's detective stories and his stories dealing with the outre was only beginning to be felt. Critics who cite O'Brien's style as "florid" and "naive when it is not a little pompous and literary" should perhaps give more consideration to the cultural context of the work; the same can be said of Poe even more. Consider, too, that in the literary circles of the time, one wrote for the admiration of one's literary friends as well as for that of the public.
