The story revolves around the character of Cyrus Croyden, a self-made millionaire who rises from humble beginnings to amass wealth and influence. Croyden is depicted as a ruthless and ambitious man who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. The novel delves into the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by Croyden as he navigates the world of business and politics.As with many of Phillips' works, "The Grain of Dust" is a social and political novel that offers a critical examination of the American society and the pursuit of success. Phillips was known for his novels that explored the complexities of power and morality in the early 20th century.Please note that while David Graham Phillips was a prolific author in his time, his works are not as widely read today as those of some other authors from the same era.
