"Hungry Hearts"
I had been writing and starving for years. My stories, which appeared in the magazines from time to time, had been gathered together and published in a book called "Hungry Hearts." Although reviewers praised it, my royalties were so small that it brought me little money and almost no recognition. People who read a book little know what small reward there is for the writer while he is still unknown—of his often solitary, starved existence. A book read in one evening may have taken the author years and years of the most agonizing toil to create.—Anzia Yezierska, in Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan.
