Description
Felix O'Day is a novel written by F. Hopkinson Smith. The story follows the life of Felix O'Day, a young man who is forced to leave his home in Ireland and move to America. He arrives in New York City with nothing but the clothes on his back and a burning desire to succeed. Despite facing numerous obstacles and setbacks, Felix manages to build a successful career as an artist. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Angela, but their relationship is threatened by various external forces. Throughout the book, Felix must navigate the complexities of love, art, and ambition as he tries to make a life for himself in a new and unfamiliar country. The novel is a compelling look at the immigrant experience in America, and it offers a vivid portrait of life in New York City during the late 19th century.1915. Smith had several careers: engineer, artist, illustrator and short story writer. His success in engineering included planning the foundations for the Statue of Liberty. He traveled frequently to Europe and became known for his portraits and illustration. Smith was an entertaining after-dinner storyteller and in his fifties he decided to commit his stories to paper and is remembered for his Colonel Carter novels. The book begins: Broadway on dry nights, or rather that part known as the Great White Way, is a crowded thoroughfare, dominated by lofty buildings, the sky-line studded with constellations of colored signs penciled in fire. Broadway on wet, rain-drenched nights is the fairy concourse of the Wonder City of the World, its asphalt splashed with liquid jewels afloat in molten gold.
