And what from swine to swallows, from mud to the stars, may life be or not be? It is a mystery always. There is mystery about the life of an oak, which has quietly grown in the same place, keeping its secret and its changing beauty, for many hundreds of years.

The bed and wash-stand were snugly bestowed in a curtained alcove; pictures hung about the walls; a work-stand, with a work-box evidently in daily use, stood at one corner of the lounge, drawn up before the fire, on which Mr. Cooper was seated, in very close proximity to his wife; but they had been married but two months, and the honeymoon was not quite left out of sight.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ways of Life: Two Stories Colours are more sombre, the sentiment is different. The flood which in its rise seemed almost in dividual, pervaded by something like conscious life of force and pleasure, becomes like an abstract relentless fate when it pours back into the deep gulf of a sea of forgetfulness, with a rush of whitened pebbles dragged from the beach, or a long expanse of uncovered sands left bare, studded with slippery fragments of rock and the bones of shipwrecked boats. These are no more than symbols of the rising and falling again of human feeling, which, in all its phases, is of the highest interest to those who recognise, even in its imaginary developments, a shadow of their own.

Davis’s 1971 novel, A Meaningful Life, is a blistering black comedy about the American quest for redemption through real estate and a gritty picture of New York City in collapse. Just out of college, Lowell Lake, the Western-born hero of Davis’s novel, heads to New York, where he plans to make it big as a writer. Instead he finds a job as a technical editor, at which he toils away while passion leaks out of his marriage to a nice Jewish girl. Then Lowell discovers a beautiful crumbling mansion in a crime-ridden section of Brooklyn, and against all advice, not to mention his wife’s will, sinks his every penny into buying it. He quits his job, moves in, and spends day and night on demolition and construction. At last he has a mission: he will dig up the lost history of his house; he will restore it to its past grandeur. He will make good on everything that’s gone wrong with his life, and he will even murder to do it.
