Norris, Frank (Benjamin Franklin) (1870–1902)
US novelist. A naturalist writer, he wrote McTeague (1899), about a brutish San Francisco dentist and the love of gold (filmed as Greed in 1923). He completed only two parts of his projected trilogy, the Epic of Wheat: The Octopus (1901), dealing with the struggles between wheat farmers, and The Pit (1903), describing the Chicago wheat exchange.
