- The Studs Lonigan trilogy tells the story of a young Irish man living in Chicago in the 1920s (similar to Farrell’s own upbringing), and hanging out with his friends at pool halls and speakeasies, dealing with prejudice, getting in trouble, fighting with his parents, and struggling with his faith: a collage of the issues going on for Irish immigrants at that time.

James T Farrell: Studs Lonigan Trilogy. Farrell’s three-part novel is one of those classics of American literature that not all that many people have read. It is hailed as a masterpiece of realism and naturalism but I don’t see it like that.
In this relentlessly naturalistic yet richly complex portrait, Studs starts out his life full of ability and ambition, qualities that are crushed by the Chicago youth’s limited social and economic environment.
The saga of Studs Lonigan, if it does nothing else, demonstrates the closed nature of the supposedly open American system. Studs has dreams that are like everyone else's: He wants money,...
Studs’s swaggering and vicious comrades, his narrow family, and his educational and religious background lead him to a life of futile dissipation. Ann Douglas provides an illuminating introductory essay to Farrell’s masterpiece, one of the greatest novels of American literature.
