THE THIRD CIRCLE - FRANK NORRIS TASCHENBUCH

The Third Circle by Frank Norris is a collection of short stories by Frank Norris with an
introduction by William Henry Irwin. The author depicts life in San Francisco  California prior
to the 1906 earthquake  especially the terrible conditions in Chinatown in the sixteen
recitals. Excerpt: There are more things in San Francisco's Chinatown than are dreamed of in
Heaven and earth. In reality  there are three parts of Chinatown-the part the guides show you 
the part the guides don't show you  and the part that no one ever hears of. It is with the
latter part that this story has to do. There are a good many stories that might be written
about this third circle of Chinatown  but believe me  they never will be written-at any rate
not until the town has been  as it were  drained off from the city  as one might drain a
noisome swamp  and we shall be able to see the strange  dreadful life that wallows down there
in the lowest ooze of the place-wallows and grovels there in the mudand in the dark.
