Description
Howard Vincent O'Brien's Thirty is a novel of a man at the age of its title, facing the choices that youth postpones. It was published in New York in 1915 and illustrated by Robert W. Amick. Its chapters run from an uninvited guest through oil and water to burned bridges and a bluff called.
O'Brien, author of New Men for Old, dedicates the book to his mother. She sought always to make him love the truth, though knowing his truth would not, in the nature of things, be hers. That dedication sets the novel's theme: a son's truth against a mother's, and a young man's search for his own code at thirty. The novel remains a thoughtful period story of coming of age, written with candor and a keen eye for social life.
