xi, 479 pp. ""Red-blood" is American. The words have a special meaning in this country where, within an extraordinarily brief space of time, a nation has been hewn out of a savage continent. In this powerful novel by the author of "Zell," the central character is a red blood, a doer, a creator and builder. Illegitimately born in a backwoods village, without opportunities, but inspired with an indomitable will-to-power, he becomes involved with things on a big scale--on an almost inhumanely large scale. The story is one of singular strength and ruggedness, with a remarkable climax. "The Red-Blood," the story of a modern Frankenstein, is a real contribution to American literature."
