	James T Farrell: Studs Lonigan a Trilogy (Library of America): Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		Farrell wrote Studs Lonigan during a period of widespread working-class unrest and violence against organized labor, and then during the hard early years of the Depression; Bellow wrote The Adventures of Augie March in the prolonged period of optimism that followed World War II.
		An unparalleled example of American naturalism, the Studs Lonigan trilogy follows the hopes and dissipations of its remarkable main character--a would-be "tough guy" and archetypal adolescent, born to Irish-American parents on Chicago's South Side--through the turbulent years of World War I, the Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression.
		The three novels--Young Lonigan, The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan, and Judgment Day--offer a vivid sense of the textures of real life: of the institutions of Catholicism, the poolroom and the dance marathon, romance and marriage, gangsterism and ethnic rivalry, and the slang of the street corner.

	washingtonpost.com: Rereading what might have been, but wasn't, the Great American Novel.
		The trilogy begins when Studs is 14 years old, preparing to graduate from secondary school, and ends with his death a decade and a half later of heart problems complicated by pneumonia.
		A further difficulty with Studs Lonigan is that Studs himself is a remarkably unappealing character, or so he seems on second encounter.
		Farrell wrote Studs Lonigan during a period of widespread working-class unrest and violence against organized labor, and then during the hard early years of the Depression; Bellow wrote The Adventures of Augie March in the prolonged period of optimism that followed World War II.

	Studs Terkel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louis "Studs" Terkel (born May 16, 1912) is an American author, historian and broadcaster.
		Studs Terkel got his nickname because he reminded people of the fictional character Studs Lonigan, of James T. Farrell's trilogy.
		Studs Terkel is perhaps best known for his 1970 book Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression, in which he assembled recollections of the Great Depression from across a wide spectrum of society, from Okies to prison inmates, to the better off.

	The NBCC Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award: Studs Terkel (March 4, 2004)
		His parents owned and ran a working-class Chicago hotel, so Studs was always in the thick of things, and early on acquired the habit of listening intently to discussions of the issues of the day, enthralled by the music of conversation, and the transformation of experience and opinion into story.
		Studs earned a law degree from the University of Chicago, but realized that he wasn't actually the lawyer type, so he turned to radio, working as a sportscaster, disc jockey, and actor--cast most often as a Chicago gangster.
		He switched briefly to television and hosted a talk show called "Studs' Place." Outspoken in his humanitarian views, Terkel drew the ire of the McCarthy-era FBI and was fllisted, a designation that only increased Mahalia Jackson's determination to have him host her weekly radio show.

	Writers urge city to honor 'Studs Lonigan' author
		Studs Lonigan, a fictional South Side anti-hero who reflected the realities of the Irish-American community early in the last century, led the kind of life that normally would destine one for obscurity.
		Although celebrated in literary circles, Farrell, the author of three Lonigan novels and 47 other works of fiction, criticism and memoir, is not widely remembered, Offen says.
		Any city commemoration would be separate from events already planned by the Newberry Library on May 21-22 and the Society of Midland Authors on Oct. 12, said Charles Fanning, director of Irish studies at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and a member of the Farrell committee.

	Studs Lonigan
		Farrell's sympathetic and graphic protrayal of the growing up of the young gang member, Studs Lonigan, captures the split between the oppression of the Irish and their oppression of others, particularly African Americans.
		STUDS LONIGAN, Tommy Doyle, Red Kelly, Benny Tate, and Kenny Kilarney acted slightly aloof, while a gang of bloodthirsty kids swirled and milled about them reiterating the cry of "Let's go!" Clubs and sticks were brandished.
		Studs said that they ought to hang every nigger in teh city to the telephone poles, and let them swing there in the breeze.

	Gabby Baker English 280 : Young Lonigan
		As Farrell acknowledges in his introduction, the story of Studs Lonigan is insignificant in comparison to other events in history, however, in its depiction of how one child's development can reflect the power of the surrounding environment, the story of Young Lonigan is universally important.
		In his mind, Studs Lonigan believes he is a heavyweight fighter, a respected and feared competitor, and a neighborhood hero.
		Studs continues to mature; he beats people up and makes a name for himself and he eventually abandons his affection for Lucy, deciding that he is too gritty and rough for a good girl like her.

		STUDS LONIGAN, on the verge of fifteen, and wearing his first suit of long trousers, stood in the bathroom with a Sweet Caporal pasted in his mug.
		Studs comes to stand for a generation that wasted its potential on alcohol, petty crime, and on a foolish pursuit of the quick buck.
		Studs Lonigan is a stark, murderous story of things going wrong and continuing to go wrong until life seems too hard and one is pushed to the limits of giving up.

	Studs Lonigan @ Unverse
		Studs is born into an Irish-Catholic working class family with a mother and father who want the best for him.
		Although Studs is affected by his environment, it is still possible to trace the turns his life takes to sources within his own personality.
		I guess Studs is meant to be a sort of illustration of this environment in general, but Farrell really misses the opportunity to drive his points home.

	Studs Lonigan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		One of the masterpieces of American naturalism and a major influence on generations of American novelists, James T. Farrell's Studs Lonigan trilogy follows the hopes and dissipations of its remarkable main character through the turbulent years of World War I, the Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression.
		In William "Studs" Lonigan-- a would-be tough guy and archetypal adolescent born to Irish-American parents on Chicago's South Side-- Farrell creates an anti-heroic Everyman helplessly stifled by the conditions under which he grows up.
		The three novels-- Young Lonigan (1932), The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan (1934), and Judgement Day (1935)-- are unparalleled in their sense of the textures of real life.

		Studs is acutely self-conscious, with the self-consciousness of the outsider.
		This is a blow-by-blow account of Studs’ descent into the hexagonal; the poolroom and the corner, boozing and bawdy houses are the map of his world.
		Early editions of Studs Lonigan featured an introduction by a sociologist, a specialist in street gangs, lending a patina of respectability and educative value to a novel bound to be read by flashlight under the bedcovers.

		In this relentlessly naturalistic portrait, Studs starts out his life full of vigor and ambition, qualities that are crushed by the Chicago youth's limited social and economic environment.
		'Studs Lonigan, ' the story of an Irish-American youth growing to adulthood in Chicago, is considered by many to be one of the finest American novels from the first half of the twentieth century, and its author was widely regarded as the voice of urban Irish America.
		A masterwork of the Depression years, the Studs Lonigan Trilogy is a stunning artistic achievement that urgently demands reconsideration by the present generation of readers and scholars.

	6/2/03: CD Reviews At the Movies Murder on the Orient Express and Studs Lonigan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Studs Lonigan, while a fine score in its own right, will be of interest to most soundtrack enthusiasts as an early collaboration between Goldsmith and John Williams.
		Still, Studs is not as reflective and nostalgic in tone as The Reivers; it's a lot grittier.
		Not a throwaway score at all, this is a fine effort from early in Goldsmith's career, though at $20 a pop, one would hope for a longer disc with perhaps an additional short score complimenting this one.

		And now here in this show, Joey Gallagher and Studs Lonigan were together, the two of them were one, racing across the screen, and the dough was rolling in, and the blonde she was sweet, and she was his, laying only for him, and oh, goddamn it, this was the real ticket.
		Studs was getting tense, wondering what was going to happen, thinking would he have the guts to pull the stunt Joey was pulling.
		Studs asked himself could he face guns, and fight like a gangster, and he felt that Studs Lonigan was yellow, and couldn't be a Joey Gallagher.

	The New York Times: Book Review Search Article
		Gone, too, is the sense of the risque that convinced Vanguard Press to issue ''Young Lonigan,'' the first volume of the trilogy, in a wrapper identifying it as a ''clinical document'' suitable only for psychologists, social workers and the like.
		No one who has read ''Studs Lonigan'' could have been surprised by the meanness of Chicago's mayoral election two years ago, or by the special sort of overt bigotry - like the American Nazi Party headquarters with its ''Niggers Beware'' billboard sitting in an otherwise charming neighborhood - that often characterizes the city.
		So accustomed is Studs to patronage as the way of doing business that, in a scene that is both pathetic and grimly absurd, he lists a city judge as a reference when he applies for a job at a gas station.

		Studs Lonigan (1960) was Jerry Goldsmith’s fourth film score, and what a score it is! It is a stunning work which offers an early glimpse of many musical ideas which, over the coming decades, would manifest themselves into many of Goldsmith’s greatest and most famous scores.
		Studs Lonigan is not a Goldsmith footnote, but instead proves to be a genuinely great Goldsmith score, representing a freshness and originality as well as a level of accomplishment and experience that belie its early origin.
		Over 40 years after it was composed, this release of Studs Lonigan, which now becomes the oldest film score of Goldsmith’s to have ever been released, remedies an important missing chapter in the composer’s discography.

		As the trilogy opens in 1916 Chicago, young Studs Lonigan is a horny lazy 15 year old anti-Semite racist punk.
		The only human moment of his life is when Studs permits himself, for an instant, as a boy, to be in love and think of that song.
		As a result, many of us think Studs Lonigan is the Great American Novel, the central novel of the urban immigrant American experience.

	Movie Info for Studs Lonigan on MSN Movies
		Studs (Christopher Knight) is raised on Chicago's infamous South Side, an Irish kid when prejudice against the Irish was still around and hanging tough was the norm in impoverished neighborhoods.
		By 1929, Studs is trapped into a marriage he comes to hate and as the decade of the '30s begins, he is still trying to be as tough as he can.
		At times confusing and histrionic and wordy (not to mention censored to fit a 1960s unspoken coda), Studs Lonigan falls short of the pithy, emotional, rugged world of Farrell's Irish hoodlum.

	JS Online:Farrell's 'Studs' details an American's tragedy
		"Studs Lonigan" - a trilogy made up of "Young Lonigan," "The Young Manhood of Studs Lonigan" and the ominously titled "Judgment Day" - told the story of an Irish Catholic Chicago youth from his grade-school graduation to the premature end of his days at the age of 30.
		While others managed under identical conditions, Studs was crippled in the end by a jealousy for what he never had and a nostalgia for what he lost.
		Farrell had a revival when I first read "Studs Lonigan" in the 1970s - a TV miniseries was made of the book - likely spurred by the increased social consciousness of the era.

	The life of James Farrell, author of a popular trilogy, recalls a time when writers' political ideas still mattered
		The author of the "Studs Lonigan" trilogy and far too much else, Farrell had a literary career that climaxed almost immediately.
		"Studs Lonigan," which he began as an undergraduate, is the story of a rough-and-tumble punk from a "lace-curtain" Irish family much like Farrell's.
		From first puff to last breath, Studs is a classic first-novel protagonist: the author's sensitive alter ego, misunderstood and ultimately martyred by an unfeeling world.

		In other words, Studs is easily influenced by his environment, which pertains to his desire to want to fit into the crowd.
		Due to a lack of autonomy and concrete characteristics, Studs resorts to actions that simply further his absence of character.
		He bargains for more than he originally intended, as he becomes rather involved with the movie; as a result, he is overwhelmed with emotion and goes as far as speaking to others with said emotion.

		As he works at the pose his thoughts roam across the entire world, or as much as he will ever know of it, for he is a citizen, not so much of the United States, or even of Chicago, as of his Irish-American neighborhood, a community that few will leave for long.
		But Farrell's point is that Studs is more complex than appearances might indicate; and the same might be true of realism itself.
		Indeed, the relative indifference to American realist fiction on the part of literary scholars is all the more puzzling given the continuing (and sometimes fierce) discussions of the genre among writers and critics outside academe.
