This is a well-written novel with many disputes, and settlements between private capital and the public purse, with somewhat insensitive characters. The story gives unpleasant insights into Washington D.C. and New York and stays true to its setting throughout. The Fashionable Adventures of Joshua Craig is one of the finest works of American novelist and journalist David Graham Phillips. Phillips is known for including all he has seen in his works, from lower to higher levels of society and different walks of life. Following the life of Joshua Craig, he goes from loving women to fighting men to being a gentleman.
