Summary | "The Gold Brick" by Brand Whitlock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the life-changing opportunities and moral dilemmas encountered by Neil Kittrell, a cartoonist who has just received a lucrative job offer at a prestigious paper, the "Morning Telegraph". As Kittrell grapples with this new financial security, he faces the challenges of loyalty, integrity, and the impact of his choices on his relationships and artistry. The opening of the novel introduces Neil Kittrell, who is elated after landing a job that promises a substantial salary, much to his delight and optimism for his future with his wife, Edith. However, as he navigates his newfound prosperity, he is torn between the excitement of his career and a profound sense of loyalty to his former employer, the "Post", and its editor, Hardy. Edith questions the cost of their financial success on their values and relationships, sensing the weight of Kittrell's transition from a cartoonist respected for his integrity to one who may need to compromise his principles. Kittrell’s inner conflict escalates as he must confront the implications of his work for a paper representing a contrasting political agenda to the one he previously supported, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his character and choices as the narrative unfolds.
