Green Fruit is a novel written by John Peale Bishop and published in 1917. The story follows the life of a young man named Richard Crittenden, who is a recent graduate of Princeton University. Richard is a sensitive and introspective individual who struggles to find his place in the world. He is torn between his desire to pursue a career in literature and his obligation to his family's business.As the story progresses, Richard becomes involved with a group of artists and intellectuals in Greenwich Village. He falls in love with a young woman named Lucy who shares his artistic sensibilities. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Lucy is already engaged to another man.Throughout the novel, Richard grapples with issues of identity, artistic expression, and the expectations of society. He is forced to confront the limitations of his own privilege and the struggles of those less fortunate than him. Ultimately, Richard must make a decision about his future and the kind of person he wants to be.Green Fruit is a poignant and thought-provoking work that explores the complexities of early 20th century American society. It offers a glimpse into the lives of young people who were grappling with the aftermath of World War I, the rise of modernism, and the challenges of a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
