The Cruise of the Dry Dock (Esprios Classics)

Thomas Sigismund Stribling (March 4 1881 - July 8 1965) was an American writer and lawyer who published under the name T.S . Stribling. He won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1933 for his novel The Store. After moving to Nashville Tennessee in 1907 Stribling picked up a job at the Taylor-Trotwood Magazine as a writer and salesman of ads and subscriptions and as a sort of sublimated office boy. (Kunitz 1359) It was at the magazine that Stribling had two works of fiction published: The Imitator and The Thrall of the Green both reflecting the social themes for which he would later become renowned.
