"Aikamme kirjallinen supertähti" - Time Magazine Carrie Soto on 20 Grand Slam -titteliä voittanut kaikkien aikojen paras tenniksenpelaaja. Kuusi vuotta uransa lopettamisen jälkeen hän seuraa katsomosta, kuinka nuori brittitähti rikkoo hänen ennätyksensä. Carrie päättää lunastaa takaisin paikkansa historiankirjoissa. Mediaryöpytys yltyy armottomaksi, ja 37-vuotiaan keho panee vastaan raskaalle harjoittelulle. Palatakseen pelikentille Carrien on myös nieltävä ylpeytensä ja otettava yhteyttä Bowe Huntleyyn, ainoaan mieheen, jolle hän on ollut vähällä avata sydämensä. New York Timesin bestsellerlistan ykköseksi noussut tarina kertoo kyltymättömästä voitonhimosta ja kuolemattoman kuuluisuuden hinnasta ja kuvaa tarkkanäköisesti myös urheilumaailman seksismiä ja rasismia. Taylor Jenkins Reid on 2000-luvun menestyksekkäimpiä kirjailijoita maailmanlaajuisesti: hänen teoksiaan on myyty yli 21 miljoonaa kappaletta 42 eri kielellä. Alkujaan 2022 englanniksi ilmestynyt Unohtumaton Carrie Soto on yksi TJR:n menestyksekkäimmistä romaaneista.

Sister Carrie (1900), Theodore Dreiser's first novel, is one of the seminal works in American literature because of Dreiser's ground-breaking dramatization of the tragic life led by men and women in the modern American city. The introduction by Donald Pizer describes in detail the biographical and historical background of the novel and its critical reputation. The four original essays in this 1991 volume not only touch on long-established approaches to Sister Carrie but also reflect a number of the concerns of scholarly and critical movements. Each of the essays is a self-standing examination of a major area of interest in the novel, including such topics as the impact of Dreiser's own life on the creation of Carrie and Hurstwood, the relationship of Carrie and the theater, and Dreiser's naturalism and his narrative technique.
