Publisher Description
An Experiment in Luxury is the book end of all this as a young man visits his rich friend and
his millionaire family. It is a conventional scene in which the young man’s
friend, son of the household, encourages him to speak only conventionally to
his mother or he will get on her bad side. We see her preoccupied with her
worries and the husband/millionaire taking his mind off of it all by playing
with a kitten. They have their dinners, along with arguments between the friend
and his sisters, providing some entertainment at the table, and the story
grinds to an end. This is best listened to along with its book end, An
Experiment in Luxury, to get the full force of it all.

About Stephen Crane
Stephen Crane (1871–1900) was an American novelist, poet, and journalist. He worked as a reporter of slum life in New York and a highly paid war correspondent for newspaper tycoons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. He wrote many works of fiction, poems, and accounts of war, all well received but none as acclaimed as his 1895 Civil War novel, The Red Badge of Courage. Today he is considered one of the most innovative American writers of the 1890s and one of the founders of literary realism.
