Review of Barbary Coast (1935) by Alex B — 09 Aug 2010
Gold rush San Francisco as a crude capitalist hell (but with Hawksian charm, and a remarkable ending). Of course, while journalism, poetry, and love may counteract crudity (though this is less and less evident), they can't stop capitalism (which, financing crudity, guarantees its return/advance).
