Chapter
Part V — Buttered Side Down
Part V begins on the last night of the year, with music echoing through marble halls and glittering dresses sweeping past mirrored walls. But behind a swinging kitchen door, Gussie Fink is standing in flat shoes on cold tile, counting silverware and checking trays with unwavering focus. Around her, plates are passed, orders barked, and the air is thick with steam and tension, far removed from the elegance spilling across the ballroom floor. There’s no orchestra in this part of the hotel, only the clatter…-

Part IV — Buttered Side Down
Part IV begins in a small Midwestern town just as Ivy Keller returns from finishing school, filled with polished manners and romantic daydreams shaped by poetry and novels. Her days stretch long and uneventful until she notices Rudie Schlachweiler, the town's celebrated pitcher. With his square jaw and local fame, Rudie quickly becomes more than a passing interest.

Chapter
Part III — Buttered Side Down
Part III introduces readers to a cramped corner of downtown where worn floorboards creak under the steps of overworked shopgirls and silent managers.

Her outfit isn’t chosen from vanity but from necessity mixed with bold defiance. The dress, too shiny and too snug, challenges both her poverty and the dull grayness of her routine. For…-

Part II — Buttered Side Down
Part II begins with a man stepping off the train, not in shame, but with a heavy past tucked under his coat and a name that carries weight in a town that hasn’t forgotten. Ted Terrill, once a young man with prospects, returns home bearing the scars of failure, though none visible to the eye. His time in prison had been softened by progressive ideals—no bars, no chains, just a uniformed routine of baseball and discipline. He does not carry the look of the broken, but inside, shame still coils tightly.…-

Chapter
Part I — Buttered Side Down
Part I opens not with polished grandeur or dramatic skyline scenes but with a sly detour from literary convention, settling instead into a worn corner of Chicago life. The setting is rooted in the Nottingham curtain district, where hand-washed linens hang limp, and "Rooms With or Without Board" signs dominate the stoops. In this smoky stretch of working-class tenements lives Gertie, a department store clerk whose days are spent on sore feet and whose nights are occupied by a beauty regimen that owes more…-

Chapter I — The Derelict
Chapter I – The Derelict begins with Link Ferris caught between the glow of temporary friendships and the gnawing responsibility he forgot to keep. What had started as a cheerful evening of camaraderie with two well-meaning strangers had soured into frustration when Link realized that the store, where he was supposed to cash his market check, had already closed. His fogged mind sharpened quickly at the weight of that error, and beneath the warmth of whisky and friendly laughter came the chill of failure.… -
