The Fortune Hunter
Résumé
The Fortune Hunter, by David Graham Phillips, follows Mr. Feuerstein, an actor whose ambition and charisma are shadowed by ongoing financial trouble. Introduced as charming but precarious, he moves through the city with confidence that quickly reveals itself as financial irresponsibility, including the act of borrowing money from a friend. As Feuerstein encounters new people and opportunities, his relationships take on particular importance, especially with Hilda Brauner. Hilda, a working-class young woman, is drawn to Feuerstein’s charm and dreams, and their connection brings out tension between aspiration and everyday reality. The novel explores class disparity and the pursuit of love and social standing.
