"The Great God Success: A Novel" by David Graham Phillips is a literary work likely written during the late 19th century. This novel explores the life of Howard, a recent Yale graduate who aspires to break into the competitive world of journalism amidst the trials and tribulations of newspaper life in New York City. Through Howard’s journey, Phillips delves into themes of ambition, the nature of success, and the personal sacrifices that come with striving for achievement. The opening of the novel introduces Howard as he interviews for a reporter position at the "News-Record". He feels an initial sense of inadequacy as he navigates the world of journalism, contrasting his lofty ideals with the harsh realities of the profession. During the interview, Howard's struggle with self-doubt is palpable, yet he's determined to learn and make his mark. The conversation with his potential employer, Mr. King, reveals insights into the challenges reporters face and sets the stage for Howard’s experiences as he attempts to adapt to his new role and the gritty nature of news reporting. These early chapters not only establish Howard’s character and aspirations but also highlight his initial interactions with other journalists, setting the tone for his evolving journey in the newspaper world.
