He published some of his short fiction in The Overland Monthly and The Atlantic Monthly, including "The Passing of Cockeye Blacklock," and "Comida: An Experience in Famine." His devotion to truthful fiction is expounded in his famous essay "The Responsibilities of a Novelist." His adventure novels include A Man's Woman, which dealt with Arctic exploration, Blix, which was published posthumously, and Moran of the Lady Letty. One of his novels was made into a film by Erich von Stroheim under the title Greed, and concerns a demented dentist. For 10 points, identify this American naturalist, the author of McTeague and The Epic of the Wheat.
