This novel from Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie pulls off a remarkable feat: its characters spend a great deal of time discussing the do's and don'ts of creative writing, even as the book itself exhibits many of these qualities. In essence, When a Man's Single shows and tells. It's a compelling must-read for literary-minded folks.
"The career of a young Scotchman' 'Rob Angus,' is the subject of this novel. He is unusually gifted and clever, though born among the working people of a little Scotch village. His literary career is interfered with for awhile from his having to assume the care of his sister's little child, but the little thing meets with a sad death, while attempting to carry him the letter which offers him a position on an English newspaper. The child's death sets him free, and he goes to Silchester and becomes a reporter on the Daily Mirror. His experience as a reporter and reviewer is quite amusing, and his love affair is full of interest. This is the extended annotated edition including a rare and very detailed essay about the life and works of the author."
