Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. New Edition. 2008. lixi, 288pp. Frontispiece portrait of the author. B&W map. "The final book in James T. Farrell's five-volume series on the O'Neill-O'Flaherty families, The Face of Time chronicles the slow and painful decline of Danny O'Neill's grandfather Tom and aunt Louise--whose deaths haunt A World I Never Made. Featuring the family's experience with emigration from Ireland, The Face of Time brings the series full circle by evoking feelings of bewilderment, shame, and fear as the O'Neills embark on a new life in Chicago in the late nineteenth century. Charles Fanning's introduction provides context and background to the situation and focuses on Farrell's career accomplishment. Author of the Studs Lonigan trilogy, James T. Farrell (1904-79) was a native of Chicago, famous for the range and depth of his realistic portraits of the city's various populations that he drew from his own experiences and keen powers of observation."
