INSCRIBED ("To Ike Gilb / from his friend") and SIGNED by the author on the ffep. "This is the story of the Cronins, of James the founder of the family who came from Ireland to the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, and rounded out a life of sober respectailitby [sic] as a saloon keeper; of Michael, his son, shrewder than his father, and more suave, who prospered mightily in the parental business, and became a power in 'the party." They were a hard bitten lot, the Cronins, and no amount of cultural veneer, superimposed by wealth and power, could lessen their inherent hardness." McKenna published another novel early the following year, "The Bruiser," about an Irish-American boxer in Baltimore, and another one in 1931, "Tomorrow Once Again"; other than that, his output consisted almost entirely of a ton of magazine fiction, beginning in 1927 and only ending with his death in 1953. And for much of this time, he held down an unlikely day job: as an assistant professor of insurance at the University of Pennsylvania. ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
