Farrell Underground consists of readers who have read Farrell's books and have recorded inside the books their experience of reading them. He recounts that in the year when "Studs Lonigan" was broadcast as a television mini-series, he discovered nine Farrell books at Goodspeed's Bookshop in Boston which all had notes written on their inside back covers. He bought the books, concluding that the notes were important "as evidence of one reader's response to Farrell over a 32-year period.The previous owner.faithfully recorded, with a few exceptions, the month and year each time that she reread one of the nine novels, something she did from at least 1945 through 1977".The penultimate page prints "Notes on Farrell's Readers" by Harry Smith, editor and publisher of The Generalist Papers: "The Number 1 James T. Farrell fan in my book is Graham Mark Schneider, Esq.Graham is a tough guy in his speech--plain, sharp, straight as Farrell, but louder.Discovering the Studs Lonigan trilogy and "Gas House McGinty", Graham went to look at Prairie Avenue and The El. He kept coming back to retrace, literally--almost step by step--the terrain of the novels.".
