The ms. for this story came through the 
San Francisco earthquake and fire and was 
not discovered until years afterward. 
From the preface by 
Charles G. Norris 
Shortly after Frank Norris’ death certain 
publishers, learning of the existence of a 
completed novel from his pen, desired to 
publish it. The manuscript—no copy of 
which had ever been made—had been 
packed away in a crate, and was in stor¬ 
age in a large warehouse in San Fran¬ 
cisco. It was impossible to determine in 
which crate among many others the 
manuscript had been placed. While the 
question of opening these crates one by 
one was being discussed, the earthquake 
and fire occurred; the warehouse burned 
to the ground, and it was assumed that 
its contents were consumed with it. A 
little over a year ago a letter was re¬ 
ceived from the storage company stating 
that certain furniture and boxes had been 
moved away from the warehouse just be¬ 
fore the building caught fire. These had 
been transferred to a safer place and when 
a readjustment took place, it was discov¬ 
ered that a few of the crates had not been 
properly labelled and the contents of one 
or two of them failed to identify the 
owner. The manuscript of “Vandover and 
the Brute” was found, but it so happened 
that the signature of the title sheet had 
been cut out for the sake of the auto¬ 
graph. The matter remained unsettled for 
seven years until a junior member of the 
firm one day began to read the manuscript, 
recognized its author’s style at once, and 
a complete identification resulted.

VANDOVER 
AND 
THE BRUTE 
By Frank Norris 
Author of “The Pit,” “The Octopus,” etc. 
Vandover is a California lad who comes East 
to Harvard. After graduating he takes up art 
in San Francisco, and then begins the career 
which Frank Norris puts before us with such 
tremendous realism. The ideal of his art, his 
love for a girl, the affection of his only parent, 
his father, and a ready contrition for his .faults 
ally themselves against the growing habit of 
doing the easiest thing, of depending upon some¬ 
one else for his support, the love of bodily com¬ 
fort, and the fatal facility of shaking off, and 
eventually completely forgetting, the reproaches 
of a naturally sensitive conscience. 
The story of this spiritual fight which Van¬ 
dover wages day by day, hour by hour, against 
the Brute is a thing that lays hold on the ima¬ 
gination by reason of the weird, uncanny form y 
which the Brute takes in Vandover’s ima- / 
gination. Readers of the “Octopus,” / 
“The Pit,” “McTeague,” etc., will S 
find real pleasure in this re- , ^
