Abstract

The juggernaut of Industrialism is running amok in America today – and its blind, crazed devotees are being crushed amid the clamor and the noise, the abandoned irresponsibility of a barbaric festival. Industrialism is affecting all literature, but the short story, is chiefly threatened. The magazine is its forum, and the magazine must make money or suspend. The commercialized short-story is a mirror of the times – it takes in all movements. The American short-stories form a composite picture of life in the United States. The typical short story in the past quarter-century, and particularly since the World War, as avoided usual aspects to find its interest in the common but appealing problems of the life about us.
